Psoas abscess is a collection of pus (abscess) in the iliopsoas muscle compartment.[1][2][3] It can be classified into primary psoas abscess (caused by hematogenous or lymphatic spread of a pathogen) and secondary psoas abscess (resulting from contiguous spread from an adjacent infectious focus).[3]
