We report a rare case of myositis ossificans of the foot. Myositis ossificans is a benign, tumor-like lesion characterized by heterotopic ossification of the soft tissues that usually affects the elbow and thigh. The presence of myositis ossificans in the foot is rare and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. At different stages of maturity, it has similar histological features with sarcomatous lesions. Misdiagnosis can lead to unnecessary radical treatment. The important clinical teaching of our case is that myositis ossificans can take various aspects. The knowledge of unusual sites of myositis ossificans is necessary to differentiate this lesion from malignant soft tissue tumors. This will avoid diagnostic pitfalls and unnecessary investigations, which can have complications for patients.
