title: Thallium-201 uptake in myositis ossificans. Potential pitfall in diagnosis.
abstract: Myositis ossificans is primarily a disorder of adolescents or adults, whereby an area of muscle mass undergoes progressive ossification. Its radiographic and scintigraphic appearances have been well documented. In this paper, a case of histopathologically demonstrated myositis ossificans in the proximal thigh with unexpected TI-201 accumulation was presented.
