Abstract
Pseudotumors are an uncommon complication after a total hip arthroplasty. Although commonly associated with metal-on-metal implants, this complication can occur on other surface bearings. Clinical presentation is often unspecific, and a neoplastic or infectious origin must be ruled out. Here we describe a late presentation of an extensive, destructive granulomatous pseudotumor in a metal-on-polyethylene bearing that overinfected after a urinary tract infection.
