Myositis ossificans circumscripta, a benign soft tissue lesion, can mimic malignancy. CT scans aid diagnosis in children, potentially avoiding biopsy and allowing for conservative management.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Radiology
  • Musculoskeletal Imaging
  • Soft Tissue Pathology

Background:

  • Myositis ossificans circumscripta (MOC) is a benign soft tissue lesion.
  • It presents acutely and can be mistaken for malignant tumors.
  • MOC often follows soft tissue trauma.

Observation:

  • Two pediatric cases of MOC are presented.
  • Imaging findings included heterogeneous masses on ultrasound and calcified rims on X-rays.
  • CT scans revealed characteristic features differentiating MOC from bone tumors.

Findings:

  • CT demonstrated a clear separation between the lesion and adjacent bone, with specific calcification patterns.
  • Histological examination confirmed MOC in both cases.
  • Patients recovered well with no recurrence.

Implications:

  • CT imaging is crucial for diagnosing MOC in children, suggesting its benign nature.
  • Characteristic CT findings may obviate the need for biopsy.
  • Surgical intervention can be considered to manage the lesion's progression.
