Introduction
Pyomyositis is a disease in which an abscess is formed deep within large striated muscles [1]. Outside the tropics, it is a rare disease [2]. Diagnosis is difficult due to the similarity of the symptoms with several infectious and inflammatory processes, mainly septic arthritis and transient synovitis. We describe the case of a 10-year-old boy admitted to the emergency unit with fever and a painful hip who was subsequently diagnosed with pyomyositis of the tensor fascia lata.
