Abstract

We present the case of a 47-year-old man with a history of refractory multiple myeloma who was referred to our hospital for the presence of a colonic lesion suspected of having signs of deep submucosal invasion. After a surgical resection, the histological study revealed that it was a case of malakoplakia that had developed at the base of a tubular adenoma.
