ABSTRACT
Malakoplakia is an unusual chronic inflammatory response first described in the genitourinary tract by Michaelis and Gutmann in 1902. It is now known to occur in other locations including the gastrointestinal tract, skin, lungs and the central nervous system. Malakoplakia has been frequently misdiagnosed clinically as a malignant lesion. Similarly, when it occurs in the gastrointestinal tract (eg colon) in association with adenocarcinoma, it may lead to clinical and radiological overstaging of the tumour.
Our 7 faculties and 12 professional schools offer more than 200 programmes to some 18,000 graduate, undergraduate and continuing studies students.
The UWI, Mona ranks first in Jamaica among accredited tertiary-level programmes. In 2012, the University was again one of Jamaica’s Top 100 Employers.
