Myositis ossificans progressiva, otherwise called fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is a rare hereditary disease of unknown etiology, which is characterized by progressive ectopic ossification in connective tissues of the muscles, tendons, fascia and aponeurosis. We report a case of myositis ossificans progressiva confined to hands and feet, which has an unusual clinical feature with slow progression.

진행성 골화성 근염은 매우 드물게 보는 유전성 질환으로서 선천성 족무지 기형과 근막, 건막, 건, 인대 및 골격근육의 간질조직내 결체조직의 부종, 석회화를 거쳐 진행성으로 골화를 일으킴을 특징으로 하는 질환이다. 본 질환은 근본적으로 골격근 자체는 정상이나 근본 병리결함이 결체조직에 발생함으로 종래 사용하던 병명인 '진행성 골화성 근염' 대신 '진행성 골화성 섬유이형성증'이라 칭하는 것이 합당하다고 주장되고 있다. 저자는 최근 일가족 남매에 발생한 진행성 골화성 근염 2예를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is a rare hereditary disorder characterized by progressive heterotopic ossification in muscle and connective tissue, with few reported cases affecting the head and neck region. Although plain radiographic findings and computed tomography features have been well documented, limited reports exist on magnetic resonance findings. This report presents 2 cases of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, one with limited mouth opening due to heterotopic ossification of the lateral pterygoid muscle and the other with restricted neck movement due to heterotopic ossification of the platysma muscle. Clinical findings of restricted mouth opening or limited neck movement, along with radiological findings of associated heterotopic ossification, should prompt consideration of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva in the differential diagnosis. Dentists should be particularly vigilant with patients diagnosed with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva to avoid exposure to diagnostic biopsy and invasive dental procedures.
