Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Myositis ossificans involves heterotopic bone formation in soft tissues, typically affecting the upper arm and thigh.
  • Neck involvement is clinically rare, presenting diagnostic and surgical challenges.

Observation:

  • A 53-year-old male farmer presented with traumatic myositis ossificans circumscripta in the neck.
  • The mass originated from the scalenus medius muscle.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision was complete, with no adherence to surrounding tissues.
  • Histological examination confirmed mature bone and cartilage, indicative of late-stage myositis ossificans.

Implications:

  • This case demonstrates the successful surgical management of a rare cervical myositis ossificans.
