Calcific tendinitis: intramuscular and intraosseous migration.

Abstract

Calcific tendinitis is a well-documented and extensively studied disease in the literature. Intramuscular and intraosseous migration are rare complications, which may present diagnostic challenges. This pictorial essay illustrates the imaging findings of these complications. Considering that neoplastic processes and infectious diseases are included in the differential diagnosis, recognizing the imaging findings of these complications is of critical importance.
