Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Calcific myonecrosis is a rare, latent condition presenting as dystrophic calcified lesions.
  • It typically occurs years after initial trauma and has exclusively been reported in the lower extremity in documented literature.

Observation:

  • A 60-year-old man presented with a painless, enlarging mass in his left forearm.
  • Imaging and biopsy confirmed the mass as calcific myonecrosis.

Findings:

  • This case represents the first documented instance of calcific myonecrosis occurring outside the lower extremity.
  • The lesion developed decades after an unremembered initial trauma.

Implications:

  • Recognizing calcific myonecrosis in atypical locations like the forearm is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
