| Abstract: | Calcific tendinitis at the site of origin of the rectus femoris muscle is a rare lesion. Presumed to be formed by deposition of hydroxyapatite crystals, this entity may be confused with other lesions such as os acetabuli or posttraumatic abnormalities. The characteristic location and appearance of the calcifications in a symptomatic patient with no history of trauma should allow diagnosis and subsequent symptomatic therapy. |
