The patient was admitted to the hospital with bilateral low back pain for one month and space-occupying lesions of the bladder for three days. Preoperative imaging suggested space-occupying lesions of the bladder: high probability of bladder cancer. Following the anti-infection treatment, the transurethral electrodesiccation was performed on the space-occupying lesions of the bladder. Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of malacoplakia of the bladder. Left-sided percutaneous nephrolithotomy was performed electively to remove the predisposing factors of infection. After the operation, the patient continued to receive anti-infection treatment for two months. The patient had a good prognosis in the six-month follow-up.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Malacoplakia of the bladder is easily misdiagnosed as bladder cancer before operation, and the diagnosis depends on pathological diagnosis.
