The Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva and Bone Scintigraphy

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an exceptionally rare autosomal dominant condition characterized by malformations of the big toes and progressive extra-skeletal ossifications in distinct anatomical patterns. In FOP, heterotopic ossification (HO) occurs episodically, resulting from sp...

description Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an exceptionally rare autosomal dominant condition characterized by malformations of the big toes and progressive extra-skeletal ossifications in distinct anatomical patterns. In FOP, heterotopic ossification (HO) occurs episodically, resulting from spontaneous flare-ups or trauma, leading to cumulative disability. Bone scintigraphy with 99mTc-MDP combined with SPECT-CT is instrumental in early detection, diagnosis, staging, and disease monitoring by highlighting HO sites.
