Myositis ossificans progressiva is an unusual autosomal-dominant inherited disease characterized by congenital malformations and osseous metaplasia of the fascia of the muscles and connective tissue leading to ossification of the relevant area. The case report is remarkable in that eight members of the same family over five generations manifested the exclusive localization of the disease in the maxillofacial region.

Supraspinous Fossa: Anatomy and Pathology.
Indian J Radiol Imaging
January 2025
Department of Musculoskeletal Radiology, The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, Birmingham, United Kingdom.
Supraspinous fossa is an important location in the periscapular region, which houses important structures such as the supraspinatus muscle and the suprascapular nerve. The supraspinous fossa can be affected by pathologies involving its contents (supraspinatus muscle and suprascapular nerve), osseous boundary (scapular body, distal clavicle, and spinous process), or superficial soft tissue covering it. In this pictorial review, we describe the detailed anatomy of the supraspinous fossa.

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare genetic disorder presenting with progressive heterotopic ossification (HO) in soft tissues. Early-stage FOP is characterized by recurrent episodes of painful tissue swelling (flare-ups), with numerous proliferation-activated mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) subsequently causing HO. However, the mechanisms underlying flare-up progression remain unclear.

Myositis ossificans (MO) is a benign condition characterized by heterotrophic bone formation, most commonly within muscle tissue. Multiple types have been described, the most predominant being myositis ossificans circumscripta, which occurs in response to trauma. Myositis ossificans cases reported in the literature were reviewed systematically.

Diseases of the musculature can be caused, for example, by alimentary or traumatic issues. In three bald eagles with painful lameness and/or a reduced range of the hip joint, a muscular disease was diagnosed via radiographic examination. The eagles were kept in a falconry and trained as demonstration birds, which were displayed on a gloved hand and flown in falconry education programs.

The differential diagnosis of abdominal wall lesions is broad and includes Myositis ossificans (MO). MO primarily arises in skeletal muscles, but can also occur around adjacent structures. It typically appears as a soft tissue lesion with peripheral rim of calcification.
