Pictorial essay. Myositis ossificans circumscripta.
Myositis ossificans circumscripta (MOC) is a localized, non-neoplastic, heterotopic ossification within the muscle. Despite advances in medical imaging, it remains difficult to distinguish it from other disorders. As a consequence, a biopsy is frequently performed. We illustrate some common findings and non-specific imaging features of MOC with respect

[Myositis ossificans circumscripta in the axilla].
Myositis ossificans circumscripta (MOC) is a rare benign hereditary disorder characterized by heterotopic bone formation in soft tissue and muscle. This disorder is rarely seen in childhood. MOC is most commonly located in the extremities. We describe a 15-year-old girl with nontraumatic MOC in the axilla. Imaging studies (radiographic, ultrasound) did
