We present six cases of psoas abscess, three primary and three secondary. The etiologic, pathogenic and therapeutic considerations are outlined. Staphylococcal infections prevail in the primary abscesses. The diagnostic difficulties are considerable but nowadays are facilitated by echography and TAC. In the secondary ones, the psoas abscess is an epiphenomenon of a more easily recognised clinical syndrome. It is surprising how these septic processes are increasingly placed in the hands of urologists in recognition of their mastery of retroperitoneal surgery.
