摘要
Heterotopic ossification is the formation of new bone outside of the skeleton. We describe a previously unreported case of heterotopic ossification occurring within a fasciocutaneous radial forearm free flap for reconstruction following tongue squamous cell carcinoma resection. Although this is a benign condition, it is important to consider and exclude a neoplastic recurrence.
