Abstract :

Myositis ossificans progressiva is a rare connective tissue disease characterized by widespread, progressive, heterotopic ossification of soft tissues, congenital skeletal anomalies and progressive ectopic bone formation. We report 2 cases which presented with complains of difficulty in walking, stiffness and pain in both hip joints since 15 years. CT reveals extensive idging extra skeletal areas of sclerosis and ossification involving the soft tissue around the hip and lower extremities. Though rare, diagnosis of fiodysplasia ossificans progressiva should be considered whenever characteristic radiographic features of multifocal heterotopic bone formation are seen. Early diagnosis is necessary to prevent its debilitating progression
