To describe the clinical findings, treatment and results of long-term follow-up of a case of malacoplakia of the bladder. After diagnostic endoscopic evaluation, transurethral resection of the lesion was performed and antibiotic therapy was administered. The same treatment was repeated 4 years later. During the following 10 years, the patient had a yearly endoscopic evaluation that showed no recurrence of the lesion. Transurethral resection combined with antibiotic therapy is effective in the treatment of malacoplakia of the bladder. The importance of long-term follow-up of the patient is emphasized.
