title: [Myositis ossificans and other ossifying lesions of the soft tissues].
abstract: Knowledge of the clinical history and typical imaging characteristics of myositis ossificans is important as identification of this entity will avoid unnecessary and invasive work-up. Conversely, the radiologist must pay attention to any atypical clinical or imaging finding, which will warrant further investigations.
