title: [A man with a swelling of his lower leg since 69 years].
abstract: A 76-year-old man visited the Emergency Room because of pain of a progressive, swelling of his right lower leg that had developed 69 years ago after a posttraumatic compartment syndrome. We performed debridement on the necrotic, infected wound and made the diagnosis 'calcific myonecrosis'.
