Giant iliopsoas bursitis: Sonographic findings with magnetic resonance correlations

Abstract: We present the case of a 40-year-old man with rheumatoid arthritis who had a painless left inguinal mass. Sonographic examination revealed a large soft tissue mass with mixed internal echotexture and regular borders extending inside the pelvis and into the proximal portion of the thigh. Sonography also showed communication between the bursa of the iliopsoas muscle and the hip cavity, with intra-articular synovitis and erosion of the ileum. Giant iliopsoas bursitis secondary to hip involvement in rheumatoid art… Show more

“…The bursa communicate with the hip joint in 14 % of human population [6] and therefore iliopsoas bursitis is seen in association with conditions that cause chronic inflammation and synovitis of hip joint, such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, and less commonly with synovial chondromatosis, gout, femoral head avascular necrosis and tuberculosis [7][8][9]. In a series of 14 symptomatic cases of psoas bursitis of all etiologies Meaney et al found that 40% of the cases presented with pain, 40% with a palpable groin mass, and 28% with lower limb swelling [7].…”

“…It is believed that this percentage increases with hip derangement [30]. It has been said that this bursa could be an equivalent of the Baker cyst but at the hip level [31]. Giant SCs are also described, mostly related to rheumatoid arthritis [32].…”

“…The hallmark of iliopsoas bursitis is enlargement of the iliopsoas bursa due to either synovial fluid or hypertrophic synovium. 18 The three main causes of iliopsoas bursitis are rheumatoid arthritis, acute trauma, and overuse injury. 1 Other disease processes that involve the bursa are hip osteoarthritis, 19 pigmented villonodular synovitis, 20 and synovial osteochondromatosis.…”
