The Angiographic Appearance of Myositis Ossificans Circumscripta

Abstract

In its active phase, the arteriographic findings in myositis ossificans circumscripta will consist of hypervascularity. The criteria for a malignant lesion, however, will be absent—arteriovenous shunting, venous laking, and vessel amputations. If biopsy is considered, it should be taken from the periphery of the mass in its most mature region. An illustrative case is presented.
