ResumoThe iliopsoas muscle abscess is a rare condition that may occur by hematological/lymphatic dissemination or secondary to local infections, namely rare situations of kidney infection. Its early identification plays an essential role for an therapeutic and good prognosis. The authors present a rare complication of a very common pathology in the internist’s clinical practice, highlighting the importance to consider the iliopsoas muscle as a possible difficulty in patients with urinary tract infections under targeted therapy who do not show clinical improvement.
