Skeletal involvement is a relatively common complication of human brucellosis. Muscle infection and particularly psoas abscess is rarely reported and always secondary to spondylitis. We report here a case of brucellar abscesses in both psoas and right gluteal and posterior thigh muscles occurring without any skeletal, renal or bowel lesion.

KEY WORDS: Brucellosis, Psoas abscess, Primary myositis
