title: Bursa over K nail presenting as pseudo tumor in gluteal region.
abstract: We present a case of enlarged bursa with calcified/ossified walls presenting as pseudo tumor in the left gluteal region over an indwelling protruded tip of a K nail implanted 18 years back in a 35 years old male. The patient had received initial treatment from a quack and subsequently from a qualified physician before coming to us and was referred to us with a provisional diagnosis of some soft tissue tumor. Removal of the nail and the bursa resulted in complete recovery and full function.
