  • Title: Myositis ossificans on the forearm in a 10-year-old girl.
    Author: Say F, Coşkun S, Bülbül M, Alici Ö.
    Journal: J Pediatr Orthop B; 2015 May; 24(3):223-5. PubMed ID: 25647566.
    Abstract:
    Myositis ossificans is a rarely encountered benign lesion characterized by a non-neoplastic heterotopic bone formation in both soft tissue and skeletal muscle. Three subgroups of myositis ossificans are identified: myositis ossificans progressiva, which is hereditary; nontraumatic or pseudomalignant myositis ossificans, which is developed in the absence of any trauma; and myositis ossificans circumscripta, which is related to evident and direct trauma. In this case report, we present a girl with a swelling on the forearm who was finally diagnosed with nontraumatic myositis ossificans.
