This case appears to be describing the Pellegrini-Stieda syndrome/lesion. This is, in fact, a well-known and fairly common finding, generally felt to reflect a post-traumatic ectopic ossification, either acute or chronic. MR is a useful test, as the signal void from the calcification can be seen in relation to the MCL. It may also uncover bone bruising from an associated avulsion fracture (the so-called Stieda fracture)....
