Abstract

The heterotopic ossification is the formation of bone in tissues that usually don't suffer this process, and should be differentiated of pathologic calcification of the soft tissues. On the other hand, osteopoikilosis is one of the sclerosing dysplasias of bone, a poorly understood group of developmental anomalies that reflect disturbances in bone formation and modeling, most commonly resulting from inborn errors in metabolism. We present the coincidence of osteopoikilosis and the right soleus heterotopic ossification.
