fibrodysplasia
|
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare disorder of the connective tissue, in which fibrous tissue (including bone, muscle, tendon, and ligament) is ossified and slowly turned into bone. This occurs when the fibrous tissue is damaged and is replaced with bone tissue, because the body's repair mechanism is mutated. These bony growths occur painfully and slowly over a period of weeks or months, and usually begin in the upper back and shoulders. ...
