Although its historical significance is well established, Mycobacterium tuberculosis today is considered an extremely rare cause of psoas abscess. Nontuberculous bacterial infection, most commonly secondary to an intraabdominal process but at times appearing without an identifiable source, is responsible for the vast majority of psoas abscesses.

In a 12‐month period, five cases of pyogenic psoas abscess presented to the Townsville General Hospital. These cases are presented, together with a review of the literature to illustrate the clinical features of this condition and the therapeutic challenge it may pose.

Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics, 2008
Psoas abscess is rarely encountered in obstetric practice. This condition may be primary or secondary resulting from extension of an infectious process near the psoas muscle. We report a series of three patients with psoas abscess that were encountered in our obstetric practice. Two of these patients had a primary and one a secondary abscess.

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1991
From 1961 to 1989, 67 patients underwent various surgical procedures for psoas abscess. Retrospective analysis was undertaken in an effort to determine optimal surgical therapy. Forty patients were cured with one operation. Twenty-one patients required two operations, four patients required three operations, and two patients required more than three ...

Psoas abscess is a rare condition, and is classified as either primary (haematogenous spread from a distant infection) or secondary (local spread from an infective process). In the past, secondary cases resulting from spinal tuberculosis (TB) were the most common,1 but this has changed with the fall in prevalence of TB in many parts of the world.

Journal of Urology, 1987
Infectious processes in the retroperitoneal space often involve the psoas muscle. These infections usually are secondary to other intra-abdominal or intrapelvic inflammatory processes but rarely they will arise primarily within the retroperitoneum. These primary infections occur most often in younger patients and usually will demonstrate a chronic ...

Postgraduate Medicine, 1987
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
