Abstract
The iliopectineal bursa is the largest bursa in the human body. Iliopectineal bursitis causes enlargement of the bursa and may lead to groin pain, groin mass, femoral nerve palsy or compression of the femoral vein. We reported a case with bilateral iliopectineal bursitis associated with dialysis arthropathy of the hip. Treatment is mainly conservative as with bedrest and aspiration of cyst contents. However, surgical treatment may be indicated in case of heavy groin pain or the compression and obstruction of adjacent structures. In addition, treatment of the existing arthropathy is necessary to prevent reccurence and synovectomy must be done at the same time.
