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.
