Abstract: and histopathology excluded malignancies and confirmed panniculitis ossificans.The tumor-like mass was completely removed by surgery.The defect was closed by a rotational flap [9].During follow-up of 9 years no relapse occurred.The second patient was a 23-year-old female patient without any comorbidities.She presented with a painful nodular mass of 25 x 6 cm in the right lumbar region that developed after a fall from a staircase.The lesion was excised completely and the defect could be closed by a large tissue advancement flap.Healing was uneventful.Histology confirmed adipose tissue necrosis, oily cysts and mild mixed inflammatory infiltrate as features of traumatic panniculitis [10].Follow-up for three years remained relapse-free.The third patient was a 50-year-old male with a blunt trauma to his right lower leg.He presented with a 7-cm large, firm pretibial nodule.The differential diagnosis was myositis ossificans that could not be confirmed by imaging techniques.He had no co-morbidities.We discussed surgery but the patient was lost from our files.
