ABSTRACT = {Although rarely used today for supravesical urinary 
diversion, ureterosigmoidostomy was commonly 
utilized in patients with bladder exstrophy. We report 
an unusual case of iliopsoas abscess developing 30 years 
after an ipsilateral nephrectomy in a patient with bladder 
exstrophy who had undergone ureterosigmoidostomy for 
urinary diversion more than 50 years prior. The etiology 
appeared to be persistent ureteral refl ux and fi stulization 
from a patent ureterosigmoidostomy stump. After 
percutaneous drainage of the abscess and intravenous 
antibiotic therapy, the patient was managed with complete 
excision of the ureterosigmoid anastomoses and creation 
of an ileal conduit urinary diversion.},
