Case description

Myositis ossificans is abnormal bone formation within a muscle, typically following blunt trauma. It can mimic osteogenic sarcoma both on X-ray and histologically on biopsy. This condition is most commonly seen in young, active males and results from trauma to a muscle or soft tissue, or from a hematoma within the muscle.
