ABSTRACT

Resumen Presentamos 2 casos con diagnóstico de fibrodisplasia osificante progresiva (FOP) en el Hospital de Especialidades "Eugenio Espejo". La FOP es una enfermedad rara de transmisión autosómica dominante. En la mayoría de pacientes se debe a una mutación nueva en familias no afectadas previamente. Se caracteriza por osificación heterotópica progresiva del tejido conectivo, aponeurosis, fascia, ligamentos, tendones y músculo esquelético. El diagnóstico precoz mejora el pronóstico y la calidad de vida.


Abstract. We report two cases with diagnosis of progressive ossifying fibrodysplasia (FOP) at the "Eugenio Espejo" Specialty Hospital. The FOP is a rare autosomal dominant disease. In most of the patients is due to a mutation in families not affected previously. It's characterized by progressive ossification of connective tissue, aponeurosis, fascia, ligaments, tendons and skeletal muscle. The early diagnosis improves the prognosis and the quality of life.
