Indian journal of radiology and imaging, 2012•thieme-connect.comMyositis ossificans (MO) is an inflammatory pseudotumor of the muscle that may be
mistaken clinically and even histologically for a malignant soft tissue tumor. The aim of this
article is to report the imaging characteristics of MO, the emphasis being on the early
diagnostic clues. USG can be used at an early stage to reveal the′ zone phenomenon,′
which is highly suggestive of MO. A short course of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug
therapy may be an efficient treatment for early MO.
