Abstract
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare deforming disease, affecting the skeleton and is associated with progressive endochondral ossification of the striated muscles. Swelling of the soft parts is rare and can be the initial manifestation. We report three patients where initial swelling preceded the ossification.
