Differential diagnoses other than xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis are malakoplakia and fat-containing tumors of the kidney and perirenal structures.

Other renal inflammatory conditions including renal parenchymal malakoplakia and megalocytic interstitial nephritis need to be differentiated from XGP based on their histologic characteristics [25].

A variety of granulomatous lesions of the prostate have been described with varied etiology and pathogenesis leading to their classification by Epstein and Hutch into various types including nonspecific (idiopathic), specific (infectious), iatrogenic (postsurgery, postradiation), malakoplakia, and associated systemic granulomatous disease.

Research variables were; types of cutaneous granuloma with attributes of tuberculous granuloma, cutaneous leishmaniasis, fungal granuloma, foreign body granuloma, leprosy, sarcoid granuloma, malakoplakia and necrobiotic granuloma.

No epithelioid granulomas or Michaelis-Gutmann bodies were noted which rules out the possibility of Crohn's disease or malakoplakia. A diagnosis of xanthogranulomatous appendicitis was made.

Lesions such as hemangiomas, laryngopyocele, malakoplakia, and laryngeal sporidiosis occur very rarely.

Renal parenchymal malakoplakia is a rare cause of acute renal failure.
