Abstract (2. Language): 
Objective: Streptococcus constellatus is included in the Streptococcus milleri group which is a rare patogen bac-teria isolated from abscess. We report a case of 68-year-old women who presented to our emergency ward with swollen in her right psoas area. S. constellatus as a pure culture grew in the culture of abscess specimen which is obtained by percutaneous drainage. The patient was succesfully treated with local drainage and appropriate antimicrobials. S. constellatus is a rarely isolated bacteria from abscess sample. It should be con-sidered that slowly groving bacterias such as S. constel-latus can be a potential pathogen of abscess.
