Pubic pain is a common symptom in athletes and in soccer players.Its cause can be difficult to determine. We report a case in a14-year-old boy who presented with bilateral adductor muscle abcesses following a trivial injury to the groin. The etiology, radiological findingsand treatment, along with literature review are discussed. Introduction: The main causes of pubic pain after sports are thought to be sportsrelated microtrauma to the pubic rami or symphysis and lesions of the oblique, rectus or adductor muscles or their tendons1,2. Osteitis pubisrefers to a painful inflammation of the periosteum, bone, cartilage and ligamentous structures of the anterior half of the pelvis. Pubicosteomyelitis is an uncommon entity, accounting for less than 1% of all cases of Heamatogenous osteomyelitis. We report a case of bilateraladductor muscle abcess six week after a trivial injury in sports.
