Abstract

Many pathological processes can present as a swelling in the groin. We present a case of complex, ruptured pyonephrosis causing a psoas collection, which in turn presented clinically as an apparent right “incarcerated inguinal hernia.” The patient was successfully treated with antibiotics and ultrasound‐guided drainage of the abscess. The anatomical basis of the inguinal presentation of this complex pyonephrosis can be understood in the arrangement of the renal (Gerota's) fascia. Clin. Anat. 24:133–135, 2011. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
