Abstract
Muscle metastasis is uncommon. We present second reported case of ossifying metastasis from oesophageal carcinoma and review the literature. Our case highlights the different patterns of ossification in muscle, which is essential to make the diagnosis of myositis ossificans, a "don't touch lesion" in contrast to muscle metastasis or tumour, that needs oncological management.Entities:
