Abstract :
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressive (FOP)
or Munchmeyer's disease is an autosomal dominant
disease affecting the musculoskeletal system. During this
rare condition, an inflammatory process is responsible
for progressive soft tissue calcification. We report the
case of a 15-year-old patient with joint deformities,
subcutaneous dorsal and hard lumbosacral nodules and
rigidity of the right shoulder and elbow. Clinical
examination revealed dysmorphic facial features.
Magnetic resonance showed heterotopic ossification. The
patient was treated with monthly pamidronate cures and
short-term corticosteroid therapy during painful flareups
