Abstract
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is a rare condition with an estimated prevalence
of one in two million individuals. The condition is characterized by widespread
heterotrophic ossification of skeletal muscles and ligaments. We report
the case of an 8-year-old female patient and show the radiological progression of
the condition.
