Myositis ossificans (MO) is a rare disease in which ossification develops in the muscle or soft tissue. MO traumatica is recognized by ossification of the soft tissues after acute or repetitive trauma, burns, or surgical procedures. It usually involves the extremity muscles. In the head and neck region, the masseter is most commonly involved in MO traumatica. Surgical resection of the ossified tissue has been the most commonly used treatment for this disorder, with a high postoperative recurrence rate. We report a case of non‐traumatic MO of the Masseter muscle with different size round calcifications and to review the literature reported data about MO traumatica involving the masseter muscle.
