Non-traumatic myositis ossificans circumscripta in the anterior
abdominal wall of a seven years old Ugandan child: a case report
Abstract
Myositis ossificans circumscripta (MOC) is a benign, self-limiting
heterotopic ossification in the subcutaneous fat, tendons, muscles, and
nerves. It is commonly due to trauma and is frequently encountered in
the arm, shoulder, thigh, and hand which are prone to trauma.
Non-traumatic MOC arising from the abdominal muscles is extremely rare
