ABSTRACT: Iliopsoas bursitis is characterized by distension of the iliopsoas muscle bursa due to synovial fluid and/or hypertrophic synovium. Hip disease is usually associated with it, however, isolated bursitis is also present. Clinically Diagnosing iliopsoas bursitis can be difficult, and imaging is usually required to differentiate iliopsoas bursitis from other inguinal masses such as lymphadenopathy, hernias, and tumors. We present the case of a 45-year-old athletic patient who underwent diagnostic examination for recurrent right hip pain and a recent development (last 3 months) of a bulky right inguinal mass.
