Cellulitis is a common condition that is frequently managed by the general physicians on an acute medical take. This case report describes buttock cellulitis as a presentation of an iliopsoas abscess and illustrates the importance of considering a deep abscess when there are atypical features, when the cellulitis is in an unusual location or when the patient fails to improve with standard anti-microbial therapy.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains as one of the leading opportunistic infection in patients with Human immunodefficiency virus (HIV) infection in developing countries. Here we report a case of huge primary psoas abscess of tubercular origin in an HIV patient who presented with hip pain and limping. Psoas sign was evident on examination and CT scan of abdomen revealed a large iliopsoas abscess extending from abdomen to upper part of thigh. Patient underwent percutaneous drainage of abscess and improved with anti-tuberculous drugs while continuing anti-retroviral therapy.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/saarctb.v11i2.12437SAARC J TUBER LUNG DIS HIV/AIDS, 2014;XI(2), Page: 34-36

It is even more uncommon for psoas abscess to develop in association with genitourinary infections like perinephric abscess because of the retroperitoneal anatomy. Here we present an unusual case of a perinephric abscess extending as psoas abscess which was treated with computed tomography (CT) guided drainage.

Schwannomas are rarely seen on the sciatic nerve and can cause sciatica. In this case report we aimed to present an unusual location of schwannoma along sciatic nerve that causes sciatica. A 60-years-old-man was admitted to us with complaints of pain on his thigh and paresthesia on his foot. Radiography of the patient revealed a solitary lesion on the sciatic nerve. The lesion was excised and the symptoms resolved after surgery.
