Though a retroperitoneal abscess can be caused by a number of malignant as well as inflammatory diseases, there do not exist more than a few anatomically preformed pathways for its further proceeding. These ways are described in detail. Therefore, the clinical appearance is nearly always identical: especially abscess and/or empyema of the hip and thigh are leading symptoms.
