Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva formerly known as Myositis
ossificans progressiva is a rare hereditary mesodermal disorder. It
is characterized by congenital skeletal anomalies and progressive
ectopic bone formation in connective tissue, resulting in mature
ossification within soft tissues and bridging between osseous
structures. It is extremely rare and has an incidence of one in two
million people. Usually, it has typical clinical and radiographic
features. Here, we present a case of a young patient diagnosed to have
an advanced fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva. Plain radiographs
provide characteristic findings, and radiologists may play a major
role in diagnosing and preventing invasive procedures or further
traumatic insults to the affected patient. Though rare, diagnosis of
fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva should be considered whenever
characteristic radiographic features of multifocal heterotopic bone
formation is seen along with the valgus deformities of the big toes.
Being a rare condition, treatment guidelines are not clear and this
condition needs further research.
