Abstract
Three cases of calcific tendinitis occurring at an unusual site (vastus lateralis tendon) are described. Findings on conventional radiography and computed tomography together with the clinical history are characteristic for this disorder and reflect its natural evolution. The actual role of magnetic resonance imaging seems limited to excluding neoplasm and to demonstrating inflammatory changes better in the early stages of disease.
