An<unk>  in the<unk><unk>  of the abdomen may be caused by lumbar tuberculosis. Owing to the proximal attachments of the iliopsoas, such an<unk>  may drain inferiorly into the upper medial thigh and present as a swelling in the region. The sheath of the<unk>  arises from the lumbar vertebrae and the intervertebral discs between the vertebrae. The disc is more susceptible to infection, from tuberculosis and Salmonella discitis. The infection can spread into the<unk><unk>  sheath. Treatment may involve drainage and antibiotics.
