Abstract

Myositis ossificans (MO) is a benign heterotopic bone formation in muscle or soft tissue. It is a self-limiting disease that is usually initiated by trauma and often occurs in the extremities of the body. Here we report a rare case of traumatic myositis ossificans caused by unusual trauma (extracorporeal shock wave therapy) at thoracic paraspinal muscles. After a needle biopsy, the lesion increased in size, and the patient’s symptoms worsened. Malignant soft tissue tumors such as osteosarcoma should be differentiated, so excision of the mass was performed. The final diagnosis was MO with aneurysmal bone cystic change. This case is a very rare form of MO that showed an unusual cause, location, clinical course, and pathologic result on follow-up. This can be an instructive case for radiologists as it is a common disease entity with unusual manifestations.
