Calcific myonecrosis is a rare post-traumatic sequel of the lower limb, presenting in a delayed manner several years after the initial injury. We report a case of a 43-year-old gentleman who presented emergently with an enlarging painful mass in the lateral side of his left leg, that although present for several years had recently worsened with respect to the pain and erythema. Following laboratory and radiological investigations this was diagnosed to be calcific myonecrosis, which was then treated conservatively, and patient discharged when symptomatically improved.
钙化性肌坏死是下肢一种罕见的创伤后后遗症,在初次受伤数年之后才延迟出现。我们报告一例43岁男性患者,他因左腿外侧出现一个不断增大的疼痛性肿块而紧急就诊,该肿块虽然已存在数年,但近期疼痛和红斑症状有所加重。经过实验室和影像学检查,诊断为钙化性肌坏死,随后对其进行了保守治疗,患者症状改善后出院。
