Abstract:
We present a patient with an enlarging calf mass 36 years after a tibia and fibula fracture. He developed a peroneal nerve palsy after the accident, which was probably due to a subclinical compartment syndrome. Imaging of the leg was consistent with calcific myonecrosis. The diagnosis was confirmed histologically. The radiopathological findings of calcific myonecrosis are discussed.
