We report a case of external iliac vein (EIV) compression due to iliopsoas bursitis. A 78-year-old man with a prior left total hip arthroplasty (THA) and left lower extremity (LLE) deep vein thrombus (DVT) presented with chronic LLE edema. Initial ultrasound examination revealed deep venous reflux and evidence of ipsilateral outflow vein obstruction. A left groin mass thought to be a hernia was noted. Conservative management was unsuccessful. Subsequent venography and intravascular ultrasound demonstrated severe stenosis of the distal EIV. A stent was placed but could not be fully expanded despite repeated venoplasty. Following the procedure, pelvic computed tomography (CT) showed extrinsic compression of the EIV and stent likely caused by iliopsoas bursitis.
