A 40-year-old man presented to our emergency department with persistent lower left abdominal pain with a fever of 38 oC from a day earlier.

We report an extremely rare case of recurrent iliopsoas abscesses caused by appendicular fecaliths that have migrated to the psoas muscle before or during the previous appendicectomy for acute appendicitis. In this case, surgical removal of fecaliths cured the iliopsoas abscess.
