A 3-year and 4-month-old spayed female Doberman Pinscher was referred because of progression of the lameness of right hindlimb. Orthopedic examination revealed decreased range of motion of the hip joint and significant skeletal muscle atrophy in the right gluteal muscle and thigh. Computed tomography revealed a bony mass extending from the ventral side of the right ischium to the posterior side of the right femoral fossa. The DNA testing of type 1 von Willebrand disease revealed no genetic mutations. The bony mass was surgically resected and histologically diagnosed as myositis ossificans. The locomotive function improved dramatically, and no recurrence was observed during the 363 days following surgery.
