Highlights Calcification at the linea aspera is a differential for hip/thigh pain. Imaging should commence with plain radiographs, and also include the distal femur. Smaller calcific deposits can be obscured on anteroposterior projection, necessitating additional views. Calcific tendo-enthesopathy is associated with osteolysis but no soft tissue mass.

“…Radiographs alone often redirect the physician in suggesting possible surface malignancies such as juxtacortical osteosarcoma as the calcification can mimic irregular periosteal reaction or a tumorous bone formation. [3,6,7] On USG, cortical irregularity and adjacent muscle edema can be appreciated. e presence of any associated soft-tissue component can be assessed.…”

“…Small soft-tissue components and inflammation are often missed on CT. [3,4,[6][7][8] MR offers advantages in evaluating the inflammation, associated soft tissue, and marrow edema. [3,6] Paradoxically, the presence of marrow edema on MR directs to a more sinister process such as neoplasm, and often a combination of imaging along with detailed clinical information is necessary to avoid invasive procedures. [9] On bone scintigraphy, focal eccentric cortical uptake is seen.…”

“…A similar condition affecting the linea aspera is rare but commonly presents with osseous involvement, unlike other locations where the calcification is predominantly confined to the tendons. [3] is unusual feature creates a diagnostic dilemma as imaging shows cortical irregularities, marrow edema resembling surface malignancies. is case reports a similar scenario and highlights imaging appearances on various modalities awareness of which enables a conservative approach and avoids the need for biopsy for diagnosis.…”

Imaging in calcific tendinitis of linea aspera: A case report and review of literature

Linea aspera, the osseous ridge in the upper posterior femur, offers attachment to multiple muscles and tendons forming a fibroentheses. Deposition of calcium hydroxyapatite crystal and subsequent inflammation leads to tendinitis and calcification. This process is relatively rare at linea aspera but is a cause of pain and movement restriction. Radiographs are many times misleading as the linea aspera irregularity and calcific proliferation mimic irregular periosteal reaction associated with surface bone malignancies. MRI and CT are complementary and problem-solving. Awareness of the specific location and imaging features aids in the diagnosis of this condition which is frequently managed by a conservative approach avoiding the need for invasive procedures like biopsy for diagnosis. This case report depicts classical imaging features of this entity on multiple modalities.
