Abstract
Myositis ossificans is a non-neoplastic lesion characterized by heterotopic ossification of soft tissue. At varying stages of maturity, it shares similar histologic characteristics with sarcomatous lesions or maturing bone. Misdiagnosis can result in unnecessary radical treatment. This lesion has only rarely been reported in the foot. We present the case of a patient with plantar forefoot myositis ossificans.
