We present the case of a 35 year-old male with pain and swelling in his right thigh. By CT and sonography, an abscess was localized to the deep, anteromedial, mid-thigh within the quadriceps muscle, along with a 1.3 cm loose body. The infected loose body was removed under ultrasound guidance without complications
