  • Title: Calcific myonecrosis: diagnostic dilemma.
    Author: Matar HE, Stritch P, Connolly S, Emms N.
    Journal: Ann R Coll Surg Engl; 2018 Jul; 100(6):e158-e160. PubMed ID: 29658341.
    Abstract:
    Calcific myonecrosis is a rare benign condition affecting mainly the muscles of a single leg compartment. It is thought to follow a history of trauma with a latent period of years. Patients present with a slowly growing mass. Differential diagnosis from a malignant tumour can be made from the history and the distinctive radiographical features of a fusiform lesion with predominantly peripheral calcifications. Magnetic resonance imaging may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis; treatment is largely symptomatic.
