A rare soft tissue aneurysmal bone cyst in the gluteus medius mimicked myositis ossificans. Early recognition is key to avoid misdiagnosis of this bone lesion.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are typically found in bone, rarely presenting in soft tissues.
  • Differentiating soft tissue ABCs from other calcified lesions is diagnostically challenging.

Observation:

  • A case of a 21-year-old male with a soft tissue ABC in the gluteus medius is presented.
  • Radiography showed a calcified rim, CT revealed peripheral calcification mimicking myositis ossificans, and MRI demonstrated a multilocular cystic lesion with fluid-fluid levels.

Findings:

  • Imaging findings were consistent with ABCs, but the extraosseous location and calcification pattern caused diagnostic delay.
  • Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis, showing features identical to classical bone ABCs.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of soft tissue ABCs is crucial for accurate and timely diagnosis.
  • Distinguishing soft tissue ABCs from heterotopic ossification (myositis ossificans) requires careful radiological and pathological correlation.
