Heterotopic ossification is an uncommon pathology specimen that may be considered a ditzel.
General
- Definition of heterotopic ossification: bone formation in soft tissue.[1]
- Injury at site.
- May be seen in the context of tetraplegia.
Clinical:[1]
- +/-Joint stiffness.
- +/-Swelling.
- +/-Pain.
Gross
- Firm nodule.
Microscopic
Features:
- Lamellar bone - has layering/lines (best seen with polarized light).
- +/-Skeletal muscle (within the marrow space).
DDx:
- Myositis ossificans - inflammation, cellular.
- Osteosarcoma, extraskeletal.
- Osteochrondroma - at joint, has cartilage.[citation needed]
- Pilomatricoma - may be extensively ossified.[2]
Sign out
Lesion, Distal Phalanx of Right Little Finger, Excision: - Dermal ossification without cartilage in benign skin with a thick keratin layer. - NEGATIVE for evidence of malignancy.
Block letters
LESION ("HETEROTOPIC OSSIFICATION"), RIGHT FEMUR, EXCISION:
- BONE -- CONSISTENT WITH MUSCLE HETEROTOPIC OSSIFICATION.
- NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
Micro
The sections show laminar bone with a marrow space containing adipose tissue and benign skeletal muscle. The osteocytes show no nuclear atypia. No mitotic activity is appreciated.
