Abstract

A 46-year-old male presented with a localized left renal mass and underwent an open radical nephrectomy via a midline incision. He recovered uneventfully and was discharged. After one month he reported persistent incisional pain; CT demonstrated heterotopic bone formation under the fascial closure. He underwent resection of calcified preperitoneal fat. Final pathology revealed benign bone tissue. He received a course of celecoxib. The patient developed recurrence of a smaller calcification. He underwent a second resection and was treated with adjuvant radiation. The patient had improvement of pain and no ossification visualized on CT imaging at 1-year follow up.
