Introduction And Importance: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health issue, especially in developing countries where its incidence is rising due to factors like overcrowding and immunosuppression. Among extrapulmonary TB forms, abdominal TB is common, while retroperitoneal TB is rare and often challenging to diagnose due to its similarity to other retroperitoneal tumors. Diagnosis typically requires invasive procedures such as laparoscopy or laparotomy.

Article Synopsis
- Appendiceal cancers, particularly mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, are rare and can cause serious complications like pseudomyxoma peritonei, leading to abdominal fluid accumulation called "jelly belly."
- A case of a young man with a persistent psoas abscess revealed mucinous adenocarcinoma with pseudomyxoma retroperitonei, emphasizing the need to consider malignancy in atypical abscesses.
- Early and accurate diagnosis is critical because these types of tumors can be misdiagnosed as common issues like abscesses, highlighting the importance of imaging and colonoscopy in identifying them.
Donor-derived carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella Pneumoniae infections leading to retroperitoneal abscesses in kidney transplant recipients: a report of two cases.

Department of Urology, 900th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force, Fuzong Clinical Medical College of Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, 350025, China.
Background: Retroperitoneal abscesses caused by donor-derived Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella Pneumoniae (CRKP) infections are rare and often challenging to diagnose early due to a lack of specific symptoms.
Case Presentation: In case one, a 64-year-old male presented with unexplained fever and emaciation three months after undergoing a kidney transplant for end-stage renal disease. Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing identified CRKP in peripheral blood samples, and CT scans confirmed a retroperitoneal abscess.
Iliopsoas Abscess Mimicking a Lower Motor Neuron Lesion: A Diagnostic Challenge.

Internal Medicine, Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, Southend-on-Sea, GBR.
Iliopsoas abscess is a rare infection that presents with a triad of fever, back pain, and hip pain. However, due to the anatomical proximity of the psoas muscle to various structures, an abscess in this region can manifest with nonspecific symptoms, leading to potential misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis, which can be fatal. We report a case of a 54-year-old female who presented to the emergency department with right-sided flank pain and symptoms resembling lower motor neuron disorder.
