Five cases of
calcifying tendinitis
of the femur are presented. Diagnosis were proved histologically or catamnestically. The
calcifying tendinitis
occurred secondary to localized regressive changes in 3 patients; in 2 cases systemic inflammatory disease had to be assumed. In patients with unclear femoral pain and radiologically visible calcifications, especially at the linea aspera, one should include a
calcifying tendinitis
in the differential diagnosis besides juxtacortical osteosarcoma and
myositis
ossificans. This entity can sometimes be a symptom of systemic disease such as psoriasis and palmoplantar pustulosis.
