Calcific Myonecrosis of the Leg: A Case Report

Abstract

Calcific myonecrosis is characterized by central liquefaction and peripheral calcification involving the entire muscle mass and is considered to be a late sequel of compartment syndrome. Being a rare presentation, considering differential diagnosis is important. Diagnosis is based on history of trauma and typical radiological features. Symptomatic patients require complete excision of the mass while asymptomatic patients can be treated nonoperatively.
