Myositis ossificans of the hand is extremely rare. We report an unusual case of myositis ossificans of the thenar muscles and discuss the diagnostic pitfalls whereby this condition can be mistaken for malignancy or infection.

Key Words: myositis ossificans traumatica • post-traumatic myositis ossificans • soft tissue calcification
