Abstract
|
|
|
|
Myositis ossificans is a solitary benign ossifying lesion in the soft tissue. Occurring predominantly in muscles, a similar lesion may occasionally be found in subcutaneous tissues, tendons, fascia and periosteum. It is often misdiagnosed as an extraskeletal osteosarcoma because of its rapid growth. Therefore, it is sometimes called pseudomalignant myositis ossificans. Myositis ossificans rarely occurs in the distal portion of the finger. We present a case of myositis ossificans of finger and review the the clinical, radiographical, and histological presentation, as well as the appropriate therapeutic management.
