FINAL DIAGNOSE CASE -.....
FINAL DIAGNOSE- CASE NO. (FB AND INSTA)
(Myelitis Ossificans)
This lateral elbow X-ray shows a well-defined, rounded, calcified mass in the soft tissue anterior to the distal humerus and not attached to the bone. The characteristic zonal pattern of ossification—with a more radiolucent center and denser peripheral ossification—supports the diagnosis of: Myositis Ossificans
✅ Key Radiological Features:
- Location: Soft tissue (commonly post-traumatic), not arising from bone.
- Zonal ossification: Peripheral mature bone with central lucency.
- Well-circumscribed lesion.
- No cortical destruction or periosteal reaction, helping to differentiate it from aggressive neoplasms like osteosarcoma.
🧠 Important Differentials:
- Osteosarcoma: Irregular margins, bone destruction, and central ossification (opposite of MO).
- Soft tissue sarcoma with calcification: Less organized calcification pattern.
- Tumoral calcinosis: Lobulated calcified masses but without the zonal pattern...
