The radionuclide bone scan revealed an increased uptake, and the bone roentgenogram, a calcified soft-tissue mass. Based on computed tomography findings, biopsy was avoided, and evolution was favourable for myositis ossificans. Although rare, myositis ossificans is one of the potential causes of thoracic pain, not to be mistaken for a malignant or infectious lesion.
