Abstract

We have described the pre- and postgadolinium MR appearance in one case of acute myositis ossificans. The unenhanced sequences can be helpful in excluding malignancy, particularly when viewed serially. While use of gadolinium allowed primary sarcoma to be ruled out in this case, it was not useful in the exclusion of early abscess formation or necrotic metastasis.
