초록

Ossification of the Achilles tendon is a very rare condition. We report a case with ossification of Achilles tendon, recently treated surgically. The patient was a 44 year old male whose chief complaint was discomfort around the Achilles tendon. He didn't have a previous history of surgery or trauma. The roentgenography showed that the bony mass was $15\times3cm$ on the right leg. Ossification of Achilles tendon was found in the Achilles tendon and treated by surgical removal of a bony mass and suturing the tendon. Microscopic examination of the extirpated specimen revealed bone formation through enchondral and intramembranous ossification in the Achilles tendon.
