[Adductor muscle pyomyositis simulating acute appendicitis: CT and MR imaging findings].
J Radiol. 2001 Apr; 82(4):488-90.JR

Abstract

Pyomyositis is a primary bacterial infection of skeletal muscle. This infection tends to occur in the large muscles of the lower extremity. Pyomyositis of the proximal muscles of the thigh can simulate acute abdominal disease. Early diagnosis improves the outcome. Delayed diagnosis may lead to septicemia and shock. We report the CT and MRI findings in a patient with pyomyositis of the proximal muscles of the thigh.
