MRI Findings of Early Myositis Ossificans without Calcification or Ossification

Abstract: Purpose To characterize and evaluate the MR imaging features of early myositis ossificans (MO) without calcification or ossification. Methods The MRI manifestations of seven patients with pathologically proven early MO were retrospectively analyzed with regard to tumor location, size, margins, signal intensity, and enhancement appearance in MR images. Additionally, the surrounding soft-tissue edema and adjacent bone change were assessed. Results All cases (n=7) had intramuscular tumor-like masses without calci… Show more

“…A computerized tomography (CT) scan examination is more sensitive than X-ray for ossification diagnosis and may also show a central fatty metaplastic area (9). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred diagnostic tool in the evaluation of a soft-tissue mass although the final diagnosis is always histological (10). Ultrasonography may be a sensitive imaging modality to early depict the acute phase in MO (10).…”

“…Both the clinical presentation and radiological findings of MO vary and are correlated with the stage of disease progression of the patient [4]. The early stage (< 4 weeks) is characterized by diffuse pain and swelling and there is little to no osteoid formation [2].…”

“…The diagnosis of MO is often difficult to make and regularly overlooked. Early MO without a considerable amount of calcification and ossification can lead to either false negative radiological readings or misdiagnosis as other, more serious conditions (osteosarcoma) [4]. A high level of clinical suspicion is necessary as complaints are nonspecific (e.g.…”

“…Furthermore, while CT imaging may have been more appropriate to detect osteomyelitis as the underlying cause of the Myositis ossificans, more recent data suggest that Magnetic resonance imaging is better for making an early diagnosis of Myositis ossificans. 15 We also acknowledge that bone biopsy may have helped clarify the diagnosis, but this procedure is not carried out by our specialist foot and ankle surgeons, podiatrists or radiologists at our institution.…”
