Heterotopic ossification is a benign process of mature laminar bone formation in the soft tissues. A synonymous term used to describe this pathology in muscle is myositis ossificans. The pathogenesis is unclear, but is likely multifactorial. The basic pathology is thought to be ectopic production of osseous tissue as part of a repair process in response to tissue injury. This report describes a case of heterotopic ossification of the quadratus lumborum muscle as an incidental finding. This case highlights that treatment is based on symptoms and conservative management might be appropriate for the asymptomatic patient.
异位骨化是软组织中成熟板层骨形成的良性过程。用于描述肌肉中这种病理状况的同义术语是骨化性肌炎。其发病机制尚不清楚，但可能是多因素的。基本病理被认为是作为对组织损伤的修复过程一部分的骨组织异位产生。本报告描述了一例腰方肌异位骨化的偶然发现病例。该病例强调治疗基于症状，对于无症状患者保守治疗可能是合适的。
