Myositis ossificans commonly involves the masseter muscle in the head and neck region. The masseter is the most frequently affected masticatory muscle, often following trauma or injury. This condition involves heterotopic bone and cartilage formation within muscle tissue. Hyoglossus, stylohyoid, and lateral pterygoid muscles are less commonly affected by myositis ossificans.
