Background: Myositis Ossificans is a rare heterotopic bone formation within a muscle being the masticatory muscles
exceptionally involved. In most cases there is a previous trauma, bearing in mind that there may be many other
etiologies. CT scan and panoramic radiographs along with histological findings are essential diagnostic aids.
Case Desciption: we report a rare case of MO of masseter muscle in 49 years-old woman after repetitive wisdom
tooth infection with the discussion of clinical, radiological and histological features.
Clinical Implications: MO is a rare disease of masticatory muscles being the masseter the most frequently affected.
Wide surgical excision with free margins is the treatment of choice although close postoperative monitoring it’s
essential to avoid relapses. |
