Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Myositis ossificans progressiva is a rare disease characterized by formation of areas of calcification in soft tissue such as ligaments, muscles and tendons. There are a few sporadic case reports all over the world. The disease has an incidence of less than 1 in 10,000,000 population. Myositis ossificans progressiva is a disease of early childhood. The disease is often progressive with multiple soft tissue contracture and subsequent death by third or fourth decade of life. There is no effective treatment till date.
Case Report: We herein present a case report of myositis ossificans progressiva presented to us with numerous lumps and shoulder and hip contracture. Patient was treated conservatively on bisphosphonates. No progression of lumps or swelling were seen after one year of follow-up. Conclusion: This presents a case report of a very rare disease. In most cases there is history of any trauma or inciting factors that result in formation of myositis mass. This case, however, presents a very aggressive form of disease with patient developing spontaneous swellings and progressive contractures. | |
