Vesicocutaneous fistula presenting as a thigh abscess.
Secondary thigh abscesses are rare, and their cause is often obscure. We report a 90-year-old man who complained of a thigh abscess that was found to be secondary to a vesicocutaneous fistula. He had previously sustained a pelvic fracture and vesical injury from a road traffic accident two years prior to this diagnosis.
