A Case report Abdominal TB presented as right psoas muscle abscess

Psoas muscle abscess is an uncommon presentation of abdominal TB, we described a 55 years old Sudanese male presented with a history of constitutional symptoms and history of right groin mass. Our patient denied any history of TB infection or contact with TB patient. Computed tomography scan revealed a right psoas muscle abscess. A US guided biopsy of the abscess was carried out and sent to histopathology, which showed mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. The patient was treated with antituberculus therapy and an ultrasound guided surgical drainage of the abscess. But our patient then developed signs of acute intestinal obstruction and underwent exploratory laparotomy, in which he was discovered to have a small bowel stricture as a complication of his abdominal TB.  ileostomy was done, and a couple of days later  the patient was discharged on good medical condition and antituberculus therapy.
