    AbstractWell-contained abdominal abscesses developed in two renal transplant patients ten years and six months, respectively, after transplantation. Investigations including gastrointestinal series and CT scan demonstrated cystic collections within the abdominal cavity. Laparotomy in each case revealed an infected cystic mass arising from the sigmoid colon. In both patients deroofing the abscess and, in one patient, defunctioning colostomy were performed. Both patients did well in the postoperative period.
