Abstract:
Myositis ossificans progressiva (MOP) (synonymous
with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva) is an
extremely rare disease inherited in an autosomal
dominant manner with an estimated incidence of 0.1 per
one million births1. The diagnosis can be difficult due to
its rare nature and different manifestations early in the
illness. No detailed descriptions are available in
standard reference texts2.
