Among the fibers: A multimodality imaging review of intramuscular mass lesions

Intramuscular ossifying metastasis from oesophageal carcinoma, with a pattern distinct from myositis ossificans - A case report

Muscle metastasis is uncommon. We present second reported case of ossifying metastasis from oesophageal carcinoma and review the literature. Our case highlights the different patterns of ossification in muscle, which is essential to make the diagnosis of myositis ossificans, a "don't touch lesion" in contrast to muscle metastasis or tumour, that needs oncological management.

Endoscopically Assisted Myectomy for Intramuscular Lipoma of Pronator Quadratus

Intramuscular lipoma is usually growing infiltratively and can affect any muscle, although the proximal muscles of the extremities are mostly commonly involved. This lesion can occur in the pronator quadratus. Because of muscle is small and deep seated, the intramuscular lipoma usually involves the whole muscle and even has an extramuscular component before it presents clinically. In this Technical Note, we report the technique of endoscopically assisted myectomy of the pronator quadratus for infiltrating intramuscular lipoma of the muscle. This has the advantage of minimally invasive surgery of minimal soft tissue dissection and fewer soft tissue complications.
