Recurrence of a psoas abscess in exactly the same location is very unusual--in fact, we found no other reports in the literature. Laparotomy performed after the patient presented with the second abscess revealed an impacted calculus and diverticulitis of the appendix as the cause. Computed tomography was effective in establishing the diagnosis, but the

Primary extrapulmonary pneumococcal disease has become a rarity in modern times. We describe a 40-year-old patient who developed an abscess of the psoas muscle as the only evidence of pneumococcal disease. A predisposing local condition was prior trauma of the psoas muscle, documented by the existence of myositis ossificans circumscripta.
