Abstract:
Myositis (fasciitis) ossificans developed following minor trauma to the soft tissues of the posterior aspect of the right knee of a 5-month-old female infant. The clinical and pathological features of myositis ossificans are reviewed and the differential diagnosis of soft tissue ossification in early childhood is discussed.
