Myositis ossificans in adductor muscles is a rare cause of chronic groin pain in soccer players. Only two cases have been reported and the iliopsoas muscle was involved in both. This case report emphasises the importance of direct radiography for diagnosis in chronic groin pain and is a reminder that the development of myositis ossificans in the adductor muscles may be a cause.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSport sciencesTraumatic myositis-ossificansIliopsoas muscleAdultChronic diseaseGroinHumansMagnetic resonance imagingMaleMyositis ossificansPainSoccerArticle0002203979000282-s2.0-184255958122322438215039265Sport sciencesOssifying Myositis; Heterotopic Ossification; Type I Bone Morphogenetic Protein ReceptorAbdominal wall musculatureAdultArticleAthleteBiomechanicsCase reportClinical featureComputer assisted tomographyDiagnostic accuracyDiagnostic imagingDifferential diagnosisHumanIliopsoas muscleImage analysisInguinal regionMaleMassageMuscle contractionNuclear magnetic resonance imagingOssifying myositisPainRadiographySportStretchingSymptomDiclofenacNonsteroid antiinflammatory agent
