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.

Computed Tomography of Psoas Abscesses
Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 1980Nine surgically proven cases of pyogenic psoas abscesses are presented. The most common finding on computed tomography was diffuse enlargement of the psoas with a central low density area corresponding to an abcess cavity. This was noted in seven patients.
