Psoas abscess (ilio psoas abscess) is a relatively rare clinical entity. Recurrent pyogenic psoas abscess is extremely rare and we have found three reported cases till date [1,4,6]. Psoas abscess may be primary or secondary. In India psoas abscess secondary to spinal tuberculosis is not uncommon. We present a case of primary, pyogenic, right sided psoas abscess in a 53 years male patient. In this case the large abscess was drained surgically and patient was treated with appropriate antibiotics. He was cured completely. After 4 months patient returned with fever, right flank pain and swelling almost like the 1st time. Repeat surgical drainage done and proper antibiotics were administered.
