Although bursitis is commonly seen, in rheumatoid arthritis iliopectineal bursitis is rare. We report a case of rheumatoid arthritis complicated by left iliopectineal bursitis.
The patient, a 55-year-old man had been treated for rheumatoid arthritis for 20 years. Three months previously he had noted a left groin tumor. X-rays showed his left hip joint to be in the end -stage of rheumatoid arthritis. Using ultrasonography, to you mean cystgraphy and computed tomography, we suspected that this tumor was an iliopectineal bursitis.
Total hip replacement and bursectomy were performed with no evidence of recurence.
