Postraumatic circumscriptus myositis ossificans is a proliferative benign process in which metaplastic formation occurs in non-osseous tissue. A case diagnosed with myositis ossificans in the hip as a complication of a muscular tear was presented. An updated literature review on this topic and the corresponding diagnosing methods was made.

Keywords : myositis ossificans; heterotopic ossification; osseous metaplasia.
