Abstract

We experienced a case of iliopsoas abscess which was markedly recovered after percutaneous and surgical drainage in a subject with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. When iliopsoas abscess is suspected, physicians should survey patients by CT scan or MRI and should consider invasive treatment including surgical drainage.
