Abstract
Fibrodisplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) is an extremely rare disorder of connective tissue. Progressive hete-rotophic ossifications of soft tissues may cause physical handicap. Diagnosis mainly depends on its characteristic physical and roentgenographical findings. There is no definite therapy in hand but early diagnosis, avoidance of pre¬cipitating factors, the patient and the family education and genetic counselling are the best therapeutic approaches.
