Summary
Calcific myonecrosis is a rare soft tissue condition. This report details two cases, highlighting fascial herniation on CT images, aiding differentiation from malignancies.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Radiology
- Pathology
Background:
- Calcific myonecrosis is a rare soft tissue condition with unclear pathophysiology.
- Previous reports suggest a link to compartment syndrome, necrosis, fibrosis, hemorrhage, and calcification, often post-trauma in lower legs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report two cases of calcific myonecrosis following prolonged periods after lower leg trauma.
- To focus on imaging evidence of late local enlargement due to fascial herniation, a feature not previously emphasized.
Main Methods:
- Case report of two patients with calcific myonecrosis.
- Computed Tomography (CT) imaging analysis to evaluate disease characteristics and fascial involvement.
Main Results:
- CT images revealed disruption of the calcified fascia and extrafascial disease expansion in both cases.
- Observed late focal enlargement, consistent with herniation through the muscle fascia.
Conclusions:
- This is the first report to focus on imaging evidence of fascial herniation in calcific myonecrosis.
- Identifying fascial herniation may assist clinicians in differentiating calcific myonecrosis from soft tissue malignancies.

5.5K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.

02:11Reporter Genes
13.4K
Reporter genes are a type of protein-coding gene that are often tagged to a gene of interest. Once inside a target cell, reporter genes usually produce visually identifiable characteristics like fluorescence and luminescence when expressed along with the gene of interest. Thus, reporter genes “report” the presence or absence of genes of interest in an organism, determine the gene expression pattern, or track the physical location of a DNA segment or protein in the cell.
