“…One of the most common sites is at the insertion of the gluteus maximus along the linea aspera and along the insertion of the adductor and rectus muscles [8,14,16]. Trauma and avulsion injury has been implicated in some patients (Fig.…”

A large variety of tumor and tumor-like conditions have been shown to originate from the surface of bone (Table 1). Most surface lesions are associated with periosteal reaction. The periosteum is a multipotential membrane. Its cellular composition may give rise to a variety of both neoplasms and tumor-like conditions. To avoid misinterpretation, the orthopedist, radiologist, and pathologist should be familiar with the entire spectrum of surface lesions. A better understanding of the natural history and biological behavior at different lesional maturity stages and correlation of the history with the radiographic and pathological findings is essential to establish the correct diagnosis. A history of injury or blunt trauma is very important. A stress fracture may produce a periosteal reaction acd callus that can be difficult to distinguish from osteosarcoma. In this review article, the authors wish to describe and define each term by its anatomy and radiographic features while discussing the entire spectrum of surface lesions. All the illustrative cases in this review article have been proven histologically.

“…MRI was described in only one of the studies. 6 The collection seen on ultrasound and MRI was not seen on plain radiographs. This led to the assumption that the collection represented a haematoma as a feature of an acute injury to the tendon.…”

The case reported is of a 46 year old male who presented with a history of acute on chronic knee pain. The clinical features and investigations suggested a tear of the quadriceps tendon, with pre-existing chronic calcific enthesopathy. The operative findings were of an acute collection of calcific material within the quadriceps tendon. This acute presentation and calcific collection have not previously been reported in the quadriceps tendon.

“…Many authors have reported the association between intratendinous hydroxyapatite deposits and tendon rupture [13,14], and some even suggest that HADD may be a predisposing factor for rotator cuff tendon tears [15]. CT remains the best method to evaluate the precise location and extent of the calcific deposits, but MR is the modality of choice to assess muscle involvement in HADD [6,16]. The presence of hydroxyapatite crystals within the muscle creates an inflammatory response that is easily identified with MRI.…”
