    Notes: Cutaneous malakoplakia was observed in pigs inoculated intramuscularly with Rhodococcus equi strains of intermediate virulence. Macroscopically, the inoculation sites showed the indurated swelling of the skin. Histopathologically, abscess formation with histiocytic granulomatous reaction was observed. Many macrophages contained target or owl-eye shaped hematoxyphil intracytoplasmic inclusions or calcosherites (Michaelis–Gutmann bodies) of various sizes. The Michaelis–Gutmann bodies were also seen outside of the macrophages. Histochemically, most Michaelis–Gutmann bodies stained positively with the von Kossa silver method and periodic acid Schiff. Immunohistochemically, some of Michaelis–Gutmann bodies were stained by two rabbit polyclonal antibodies (rabbit anti-A5 serum and rabbit anti-ATCC 33701 serum) and a mouse monoclonal antibody (anti-20-kDa antigen monoclonal antibody). This is the first report of cutaneous malakoplakia in domestic animals, which also revealed the relationship between R. equi infection and malakoplakia immunohistochemically. This experimental swine model is useful to investigate the morphogenesis of Michaelis–Gutmann bodies in malakoplakia through chronological skin biopsies.
