••Pressure sores are one of the common manifestations in bedridden patients or with chronic illnesses. They usually occur over bony prominence. Prevalence, risk factors include reduced mobility, impaired sensations as in diabetes, spinal cord injuries, chronic illness like immobility, extremes of age, vascular diseases, malnutrition and dehydration. We report a case of pressure sores on the gluteal region in a patient with no co- morbid disease or significant risk factor. A 45 years old male presented with infective ulcerations on both gluteal regions along suppuration of right inguinal lymph nodes. In this case, Imaging studies, like sinogram and magnetic resonance imaging were useful, but histopathology played the decisive role in the proper diagnosis. Key Words: Pressure sores, Prevalence, Sinogram, risk factors
