A giant plantar myositis ossification: A rare case mimicking an osteosarcoma

Background: Myositis ossificans is a benign, tumor-like lesion in which there is heterotopic ossification outside of the skeletal muscle structure. It is localized, usually involves large muscle groups and is commonly precipitated by trauma. To our knowledge, the occurrence of large Myositis ossific...

Background: Myositis ossificans is a benign, tumor-like lesion in which there is heterotopic ossification outside of the skeletal muscle structure. It is localized, usually involves large muscle groups and is commonly precipitated by trauma. To our knowledge, the occurrence of large Myositis ossificans at the plantar of the foot in a non-traumatic patient has never been reported. Case presentation: We report a case of a middle-aged man with a giant plantar soft tissue mass diagnosed with a myositis ossificans confirmed by the histopathological examination. Conclusion: Myositis ossificans can present at an atypical site and mimicked soft tissue malignancy. Early excision is advocated for histopathological diagnosis and optimal clinical outcome. © 2020 Surgical Society of Northern Greece. All rights reserved.
