Popis: Background Myositis Ossificans is a rare heterotopic bone formation within a muscle being the masticatory muscles exceptionally involved. In most cases there is a previous trauma, bearing in mind that there may be many other etiologies. CT scan and panoramic radiographs along with histological findings are essential diagnostic aids. Case Desciption We report a rare case of MO of masseter muscle in 49 years-old woman after repetitive wisdom tooth infection with the discussion of clinical, radiological and histological features. Clinical Implications MO is a rare disease of masticatory muscles being the masseter the most frequently affected. Wide surgical excision with free margins is the treatment of choice although close postoperative monitoring it’s essential to avoid relapses. Key words:Myositis ossificans, myositis ossificans traumatica, masticatory muscles, masseter muscle, trauma.
