“…However, perforation of right sided colon cancer may cause a localized collection inside the abdomen that spreads superficially into the skin to form a fistulous tract, making it a rare occurrence. Furthermore, in areas where tuberculosis (TB) is prevalent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis is frequently the cause of primary psoas abscess (8).…”

Skeletal tuberculosis is a rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Due to non-specific clinical features, these cases are often diagnosed very late, ultimately affecting treatment outcomes. The present case is a very rare case of tuberculosis of the iliac bone and acetabulum with iliopsoas, obturator internus, and obturator externus abscesses in an Indian female. She reported pain in her right hip and a limp. It was a difficult diagnosis, especially due to the rare involvement of bones and muscles in the absence of any lesions in the lungs. Nevertheless, the diagnosis was achieved by a detailed radiometric and laboratory workup. She was initiated on antituberculous treatment per her weight for 12 months.

“…Any infectious process that spreads to the psoas muscle can progress into the posterior mediastinum and cause pleural complications [5][6][7][8][9]. Several routes and mechanisms have been described such as direct erosion through the diaphragm, trans-diaphragmatic migration of infected abdominal fluid, or as insinuated this case, a probable congenital diaphragmatic defect which is the proposed route for ascending retroperitoneal infection into the thoracic cavity causing empyema thoracis and subsequently empyema necessitans (Figures 5,6) [5][6][7].…”

“…A tuberculous psoas abscess usually results from tuberculous spondylitis but may develop without any demonstrable spinal involvement. In patients with no evidence of spondylitis, this can be attributed to direct spread from an adjacent organ or via a hematogenous route [8]. Thoracic extension of abdominal infections is rare and mechanisms are poorly understood, but several routes have been proposed such as direct erosion or through a congenital diaphragmatic defect [5].…”

Tuberculous psoas abscess usually results from tuberculous spondylitis but may also develop from direct spread or via hematogenous route [1]. Our case involves direct spread from an adjacent perinephric abscess with associated thoracic extension from suspected direct erosion or a diaphragmatic defect. We present a case of pleural empyema arising from abdominal tuberculous abscesses. This is an 11-year-old male who initially presented with a three-week history of cough, intermittent fever, and dyspnea. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia was first suspected at the emergency department when an opacified left hemithorax with cystic lucencies was noted. Further imaging of the chest and upper abdomen was done in our institution revealing large left perinephric and psoas abscesses with intra-thoracic extension resulting in empyema thoracis and necessitans. Culture of the abscess fluid yielded no growth but GenExpert tested positive for M. tuberculosis. Tuberculosis remains a major illness in developing countries and has a multitude of infection sites and clinical presentation. Our case presented as an ascending thoracic extension of a perinephric and psoas abscess, likely from a diaphragmatic defect. The absence of spinal involvement proves its renal origin. The importance of CT scan is highlighted in medically-confounding cases such as this one.

Isolated psoas abscess caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis: A rare case report

Abstract: Psoas tuberculosis abscess is very rarely detected primarily without an adjacent vertebral cold abscess. Early diagnosis prevents unnecessary operations and lifethreatening complications.
