A 58-year-old woman with myositis ossificans traumatica came to our trauma outpatient clinic because of cutaneous perforation of one of the ossifications. This patient developed myositis ossificans traumatica after liposuction of both upper legs 30 years ago, which condition was complicated by a chronic infection of the ossified right quadriceps muscle, a walking limitation, and a loss of range of motion. Myositis ossificans traumatica is a rare disorder associated with trauma- triggered ossification of otherwise normal muscle tissue.
