A 44-year-old female, 1 year status-post ObTape transobturator mid-urethral sling, was evaluated by orthopaedic oncology and urology for persistent thigh pain and a left thigh mass. Multiple muscle biopsies were inconclusive, raising concern for inflammatory sarcoma. After serial débridements of the thigh abscess, sling material was found in the obturator space, which gave the diagnosis. Health care providers, both gynecologic and nongynecologic, need to be aware of serious complications of transobturator slings that may present in atypical ways.
