An 18-year-old man presented to our department with a 1-year history of pain in the region of his left hip and difficulty in squatting. He reported no history of any local trauma. There was no history suggestive of an autoimmune disorder. Clinical examination found a tender, hard mass in the left greater trochanteric region with painful, restricted rotation and abduction movements of the hip. Both his medical history and family history were unremarkable. Plain x-ray and CT scans of the pelvis (figure) showed bilateral—left greater than the right—and periarticular, lobulated, calcific, soft tissue masses.
