Heterotopic ossification in systemic sclerosis
Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology , 04/07/09

Botzoris VG et al. - The authors present an unusual case of extended calcification and, to a lesser degree, ossification of the right gluteal region, lateral thigh, and knee, with associated myopathy and functional impairment. Heterotopic ossification (HO), or myositis ossificans, has not been reported so far in scleroderma patients, making this case, in the opinion, unique and interesting. However, differential diagnosis from other causes of extraskeletal ossification, such as tumours or tumour-like conditions, is required.
