Abstract 

Large-diameter metal-on-metal hip arthroplasties have incited renewed interest because of the advantages of decreased wear and increased stability. These new designs have not had significant long-term or midterm performance results, and we are reporting the case of pseudotumor in a patient with a painful metal-on-metal hip arthroplasty.

Keywords: pseudotumor, metal-on-metal total hip articulation, stability
