Objective:
To report a case of hematoma of the psoas muscle, an uncommon hemorrhagic complication of carcinoma of the prostate.
Methods/Results:
Hematoma of the iliac psoas was caused by disseminated intravascular coagulation arising from multiple bony metastases of a prostatic cancer. The hematoma was successfully managed conservatively.
Conclusions:
Hematoma of the psoas muscle is generally secondary to a coagulopathy. Conservative treatment generally achieves good results.
