Abstract

Calcific myonecrosis is a rare and latent condition of the lower extremities after a trauma and is characterized by the formation of a fusiform mass lesion in the anterior compartment of the leg showing peripheral dystrophic calcification and central liquefaction. We report the radiologic findings of calcific myonecrosis in a patient with a lower extremity calcified mass lesion.
