Abstract EN

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.
