Myositis
ossificans (MO), ectopic ossification, occurs in muscles and soft tissue
including subcutaneous fat, tendons, and nerves. It occurs as a result of
trauma, and affects more young people.
We present a case
of MO in a 55-year-old female, without any trauma occurring, admitted for
painful tumefaction of thighs evolving since two years.
The diagnosis
of was performed by X-ray and CT scan which shows multiple muscular
ossifications of the thighs and the right hip. The biopsy confirmed this
diagnosis.
