The pathogenesis and clinical picture of heterotopic ossification at a surgical scar location are discussed on the basis of the information reported in the most recent literature and personal series observed in one year in a surgery department. Stress is laid on the importance of the metaplastic process in the development of this picture, its benign nature, the nearly total lack of recurrences and the need for correct differential diagnosis, particularly as regards tumoural metastases.
