Ossifying fasciitis

Abstract

Metaplastic bone is an uncommon finding in cases of fasciitis. It has been reported only in occasional cases in series of patients with nodular fasciitis, parosteal fasciitis, proliferative fasciitis, and proliferative myositis. Ossification is relatively common in cranial fasciitis of childhood, a form of fasciitis that may originate in cranial periosteum. We studied a patient with ossifying fasciitis that occurred along the adventitia of the femoral artery, at the site of an earlier angiographic study.
