Abstract
A case of
heterotopic ossification developed after
traumatic laceration of the middle finger. It is
extremely rare for heterotopic ossification to
locate in the finger. The diagnosis was
accomplished with plain radiographs as well as
with MRI and confirmatory study
with histopathological microscopic examination
which demonstrated nubbin of bone surrounded by
fibrovascular connective tissue, and the marrow
was predominantly fatty with prominent ectatic
vessels and patchy mild lymphocytic infiltrate
and gross appearance of partly calcified bony
tissue.
