  • Title: A Case of Soft Tissue Ossifications: A Case Report.
    Author: Arrigoni P, Minen A.
    Journal: JBJS Case Connect; 2019; 9(2):e0287. PubMed ID: 31085937.
    Abstract:
    CASE: A patient who had previously been diagnosed with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva was seen for hip pain and progressive soft tissue ossifications. Through a careful clinical examination, by which a subtype of brachydactyly was noted, the Albright hereditary osteodystrophy phenotype was recognized, and a new diagnosis of pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism was established. This paucisymptomatic condition often remains unidentified; however, its transmission can lead to more potentially serious diseases. CONCLUSIONS: A careful diagnostic process, including physical examination, is essential. Even if advanced tests exist, small clinical findings can lead to the proper conclusion. In our case, a finger pointed us in the right direction.
