An abscess is a common complication after surgical interventions. Furthermore, abscesses of different genesis often occur under immunosuppression. In the case of a kidney transplant patient described here, however, the cause of an abscess-like mass in the abdomen was an unusual one, the etiology of which we could only clarify after surgical removal.
