Objectives: Heterotopic bone formation within a muscle is designated as 'myositis ossificans', and it is associated with multiple aetiologies, such as trauma, genetic predisposition, post-infection, or undetermined causes. When the disease develops as a result of a trauma, the myositis ossificans is classified as 'myositis ossificans traumatica'. In this case report, a case of myositis ossificans traumatica is described, emphasizing its imaging features.

Article Synopsis
- * A total of 66 relevant studies, primarily looking at the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), were reviewed to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions.
- * While DWI shows promise in improving salivary gland disease diagnosis, researchers couldn't establish a uniform ADC cutoff value due to variability in methods and disease characteristics.
Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKL) is an aggressive and infrequent malignant neoplasm. Early sinonasal ENKL clinical symptomatology is often not specific which can mimic several clinical odontogenic processes such as dentoalveolar abscesses. A 41-year-old female was referred to our institution due to facial pain with skin rash, fever, and intraoral swelling in the left side of the maxillary region.
