Abstract
Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) is an inherited disease in which progressive
ossification of striated muscles, tendons, ligaments and other connective tissues forming
bridges of extra bones across the joints leads to severe disability and there are associated
characteristic congenital skeletal malformations. FOP is also known as Stoneman's
syndrome. The case we report here is a 23-year-old male with the clinical and radiologic
characteristics of FOP.
