Abstract
- We report the MRI appearances in a patient with parametrial malakoplakia. The patient complained of pelvic pain and vaginal discharge. Physical examination revealed a "frozen" pelvis suggestive of malignancy. MRI showed bilateral parametrial "infiltration", but no overt primary pelvic tumour. The combination of these findings together with the inflammatory symptoms suggested an inflammatory condition. Malakoplakia was confirmed at resective biopsy.
