Background: Myositis Ossificans Cicumscripta is a rare condition characterized by aberrant bone formation in paramuscular soft tissue of the extremities usually associated with trauma or a genetic mutation. Very few cases involve the head or neck and it is rarely found in the pediatric population.
Objectives: We present a case of a 5-month old with a rapidly growing posterior neck mass suspicious for neoplasia, which was treated with surgical resection and found to be a non-traumatic, non-genetic form of Myositis Ossificans.
