Abstract

Case report of an unusual case of soft tissue calcification in the lower leg of a 50 year old patient examined for compensation problems for a gunshot fracture suffered in World War II. The differential diagnosis "localized interstitial calcinosis", "myositis ossificans" and "myositis ossificans progressiva" is being discussed.

Calcific myonecrosis and tenosynovitis: sonographic findings with correlative imaging.

We report the sonographic appearance of a case of calcific myonecrosis and tenosynovitis with correlative plain radiography and CT findings. Calcific myonecrosis is a rare complication of previous trauma that presents as a tumor-like calcified mass years after an initial injury, most commonly affecting the anterior compartment of the lower leg. Although the clinical, radiographic, and MRI features of calcific myonecrosis have been well described, to our knowledge the sonographic appearance has not been reported previously in the literature.
