A nontraumatic myositis ossificans case of the forearm: Case report and literature review

et al. 2021

Myositis ossificans (MO) is a rare, benign ossifying lesion characterized by focal formation of heterotopic bone and cartilage in extraskeletal soft-tissue that most commonly occurs in young adults. In most cases, no causative factor can be identified. The diagnosis of MO is usually based on the patient's history of trauma, clinical signs, on imaging appearance and histological examination. We present a non-traumatic MO case of the forearm in a 40-year-old man with weakness in left finger motion, a decrease in prehension for more than three weeks, without any weight loss, malaise, anorexia or fever. The clinical symptoms and radiological findings can be easily confused with malignant lesions. Treatment is usually conservative but, due to the limited strength and range of motion of the left hand, the tumor was extirpated and the diagnosis of MO was made by biopsy. The patient had no neurological deficits after surgical treatment and was discharged on the fifth day after the surgery in good condition with the recommendation to begin a rehabilitation program.

“…The trauma hypothesis, on the other hand, indicates that the posterior third of the tongue is highly susceptible to trauma and irritation, and an osseous lesion on the tongue may represent a reactive or posttraumatic center of ossification. The occurrence of “myositis ossificans” in other muscles may support this hypothesis [ 8 ]. However, some studies have demonstrated normal bone formation in these lesions, in contrast to the irregularly formed bone lacking the Haversian system seen during traumatic ossification [ 9 ].…”

Osseous choristoma of the tongue: two case reports

et al. 2016

BackgroundOsseous choristoma is a very rare, benign lesion in the maxillofacial region. It appears as a benign mass of normally matured bony tissue covered by the normal epithelium of the tongue. It is usually seen in front of the foramen cecum of the tongue. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice with an excellent prognosis and there have been very few cases of recurrence.Case presentationHere we present two cases of osseous choristoma on the dorsum of the tongue. Case 1 was a 15-year-old Japanese girl who presented with a painless but gradually growing swelling on the dorsum of her tongue approximately 1 year before her admission. Case 2 was a 21-year-old Japanese woman with a complaint of pain in the lower left, posterior side of her mouth. Histological findings showed that both lesions were composed of well-organized, mature, compact bone beneath the oral mucosal membrane. Subsequent to simple surgical excision, no recurrence of the lesions was observed after the follow-up period. Previous literatures have proposed both malformation and trauma hypotheses as the etiopathologies of osseous choristoma. However, the histopathological findings of the two cases in the present study do not support the trauma hypothesis.ConclusionsAlthough osseous choristoma is clinically a benign condition, the underlying histopathological processes are important. The outcome of aberrant formation of calcified tissue in the vicinity of vital structures such as nerves and blood vessels may be of clinical significance.

“…Myositis ossificans is a very rare disease characterized by heterotopic ossification formation, typically involving muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and aponeurosis. FOP is a rare, hereditary, progressive connective tissue disorder characterized by congenital malformation of the great toes; progressive ossificans occurs mainly in the neck, chest, and back [8, 9].…”

“…Physical rehabilitation should be focused on enhancing activities of daily living through approaches that avoid passive range of motion that could lead to disease flare-ups [6, 8]. Flare-ups of FOP may occur spontaneously or be precipitated by trauma, such as intramuscular injections, including vaccines and muscle biopsy.…”

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (stone man syndrome): a case report

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BackgroundFibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is an ultrarare autosomal dominant disorder and disabling syndrome characterized by postnatal progressive heterotopic ossification of the connective tissue and congenital malformation of the big toes. Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva has worldwide prevalence of about 1 in 2 million births. Nearly 90% of patients with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva are misdiagnosed and mismanaged and thus undergo unnecessarily interventions. So far, the number of reported existing cases worldwide is about 700. Clinical examination, radiological evaluation, and genetic analysis for mutation of the ACVR1 gene are considered confirmatory tools for early diagnosis of the disease. Association of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva with heterotopic ossification is well documented; however, postsurgical exaggerated response has never been reported previously, to the best of our knowledge.Case presentationWe report a case of a 10-year-old Pakistani boy brought by his parents to our institution. He had clinical and radiological features of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressive and presented with multiple painful lumps on his back due to hard masses and stiffness of his shoulders, neck, and left hip. He underwent surgical excision of left hip ossification followed by an exaggerated response in ossification with early disability. Radiological examination revealed widespread heterotopic ossification. All of his laboratory blood test results were normal.ConclusionFibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is a very rare and disabling disorder that, if misdiagnosed, can lead to unnecessary surgical intervention and disastrous results of early disability. We need to spread knowledge to physicians and patients’ family members about the disease, as well as its features for early diagnosis and how to prevent flare-up of the disease to promote better quality of life in these patients.
