title: Psoas abscess due to retroperitoneal tuberculous lymphadenopathy.
abstract: A case of psoas abscess occurring during treatment of tuberculous lymphadenopathy is described. There was no evidence of a bony origin for this abscess. It appears likely that it arose from involved glands on the posterior abdominal wall.
