ICD-10 code K68. 12 for Psoas muscle abscess is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the digestive system .
Psoas muscle abscess and fluid collections are located in the retrofascial space, rather than in the retroperitoneal space, because the psoas muscles are located in the iliopsoas compartment posterior to the transversalis fascia, which is the posterior boundary of the retroperitoneum.

A primary psoas abscess is presumably caused due to hematogenous (originating in or carried by the blood) spread of an infectious process from an occult (hidden) source in the body. A primary psoas abscess can occur in individuals with diabetes mellitus, AIDS, kidney failure, immunosuppression, or intravenous drug use.
The psoas muscle is located in the lower lumbar region of the spine and extends through the pelvis to the femur. This muscle works by flexing the hip joint and lifting the upper leg towards the body. A common example of the movement created from this muscle is walking. Psoas syndrome is a very rare condition.
The Psoas Muscle The Psoas is an interesting muscle. It's not an abdominal muscle, but it lives deep underneath the abdominal wall. Its a leg, hip and, in a way, a spinal muscle. It's one of the deepest core muscles and the only one that connects the spine to the legs.
ICD-10 code R10. 2 for Pelvic and perineal pain is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .

Psoas (or iliopsoas) abscess is a collection of pus in the iliopsoas muscle compartment [1]. It may arise via contiguous spread from adjacent structures or by the hematogenous route from a distant site.
The heart sits on top of the diaphragm, while the stomach, liver, gallbladder, spleen and colon lie underneath it. The kidneys lay next to the outer edge of each psoas muscle and the ureters run parallel to it. The bladder and reproductive organs lie in front of the psoas.
A psoas abscess is a rare but potentially devastating condition that is associated with risks of neurological deficits, septic shock, and even death. The current first-line treatment is percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) under imaging guidance, combined with broad-spectrum antibiotics.

A hematoma or haematoma is a localized collection of blood outside the blood vessels, usually in liquid form within the tissue. An ecchymosis, commonly (although erroneously) called a bruise, is a hematoma of the skin larger than 10mm.
