Myositis ossificans is a benign self limiting condition that usually related to trauma. Despite a clinically and histologically distinct entity, myositis ossificans still causes considerable difficulties in diagnosis. A 33-year-old Moroccan woman presented with a 2-month history of left inguinal inflammatory pain with limping gait, MRI examination suggested a malignant neoplasm such as soft tissue osteosarcoma. A diagnosis of myositis ossificans was made by incisional biopsy. Conservative management with clinical and radiological follow up of 19 months confirm the diagnosis. The symptoms resolved within seven months. Myositis ossificans should be considered by clinicians as a possible diagnosis for a soft tissue lesion.

“…On MR images, the early changes are diffuse whereas later the lesion becomes well circumscribed. In these patients, the clinical history of recent trauma, maturation (zonation) pattern, absence of an expanding mass, and a self-limiting clinical course distinguish this lesion from calcific myonecrosis [4,25]. Dermatomyositis, polymyositis, and other connective tissue disorders frequently involve deposition of calcium in subcutaneous tissue, fascia, and muscle creating lesions that mimic calcific myonecrosis.…”

A 76-year-old man was referred for evaluation of a right lower leg mass. He reported an acute exacerbation of chronic pain in the affected limb. He had no recent injury or antecedent trauma but recalled a remote history of a right tibia fracture 60 years previously that was treated nonoperatively, with subsequent mild chronic leg pain attributable to the fracture. He stated that he had always perceived a 'knot' over the area since the injury, but that the knot had progressively enlarged during the last 3 months. His symptoms were activity-related but he also complained of weakness in the leg that had been present since the initial injury. He denied fevers, chills, night pain, or weight loss.

“…Die Myositis ossificans oder auch Myositis ossificans circumscripta genannt, ist eine gutartige "nichtneoplastische" heterotope Ossifikation, die häufig mit traumatischenMuskelverletzungenassoziiert ist ("post-traumatic myositis ossificans", PTMO [17][18][19] [20]. Sonographisch lässt sich in der Anfangsphase (1 bis 4 Wochen) eine hypoechogene "Raumforderung" mit beginnenden, kleinen, peripheren Verkalkungen nachweisen, welche deutlich früher als im konventionellen Röntgen erscheinen.…”
