Brodie's abscess of the pelvis is very rare in healthy children. It can be missed because of its varied presentation. We present an 11-year-old boy who presented with low back pain. Investigations revealed a well-defined lesion in the posterior ilium. He underwent open biopsy and debridement. At the end of the final follow-up, he was asymptomatic and there was no recurrence. We present this case for the rare site of Brodie's abscess and for its unusual presentation as low back pain.
布罗迪脓肿在健康儿童的骨盆中非常罕见。由于其表现多样,可能会被漏诊。我们报告一名11岁男孩,他因腰痛就诊。检查发现右侧髂骨后部有一个边界清晰的病灶。他接受了切开活检和清创术。在最后一次随访结束时,他没有症状,也没有复发。我们报告这个病例是因为布罗迪脓肿的发病部位罕见,且以腰痛这种不寻常的表现形式出现。
