Description

Myositis ossificans is a difficult differential diagnosis and a false positive for malignancy in both 99mTc H.M.D.P. (hydroxy-methylene diphosphonate) scintigraphy and in exploration PET-F.D.G. This hypothesis should be mentioned in case of young patients, despite the unusual scintigraphic appearance in a benign process. (N.C.)
