Clin Radiol. 1999 Feb;54(2):85-9. doi: 10.1016/s0009-9260(99)91065-6.

Abstract

The imaging features of four patients with metastasis to the iliopsoas are presented with emphasis on the ultrasound, CT and MRI appearances. In patients with a known primary tumour, the possibility of iliopsoas metastasis, although uncommon should be considered.
