“…Neurological diseases are the main part of these factors, which include cerebral palsy, brain injury, stroke, and spinal cord injury. [ 5 ] Other factors are burns, infections, and genetic disorders, such as fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva. [ 6 ] Our case is unique in presenting as functional LLD and gait abnormality without any aforementioned predisposing factors.…”

Functional leg length discrepancy results from soft tissue tightness or weakness across any joint in the lower extremity or spine. Herein, we present a 23-year-old female patient with leg length discrepancy due to a nontraumatic myositis ossificans (MO). Interpretation of the imaging findings is quite decisive in diagnosing soft tissue pathologies. It is particularly valid for MO to differentiate from other malignant or infectious lesions. There is no consensus on the treatment of nontraumatic MO. Although there are studies stating the contrary, surgical interventions should be considered as second option for patients who failed with nonsurgical treatments such as physical therapy.

“…In the presence of concerning signs, possibly indicating a more worrisome diagnosis, a biopsy could be warranted. For the tissue biopsy the sampling should involve an area from the center to the periphery to demonstrate the “zonal pattern,” obtaining tissue solely from the center risks obscuring the diagnosis even more [5 , 26] .…”

“…In most cases MO is a self-limited process with complete resolution, however, the genetic forms and aggressive or resistant cases can present a therapeutic challenge [14 , 15] . For uncomplicated MO, the majority of the patients can be managed successfully with observation and NSAIDs [26] . In situations where the MO remains painful, is restricting range of motion, causing a nerve impingement or there is a diagnostic conundrum, resection of the ossified mass is recommended [5 , 17] .…”
