Case Report of Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva.

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is a rare genetic disease characterized by widespread soft tissue ossification and congenital stigmata of the extremities. We report a male patient who had bilateral hallux valgus since birth. Other noticed anomalies included multiple swellings over the back, stiffness of lower back area, multiple joints, restricting movement of spine, shoulders, elbows, and right hip and right knee. Patient was not able to bend forward, squat or turn head to either side. Patient also had multiple foci of ossification developed over left knee, and back region. All swellings and restrictions were painless.

Incidental papillary carcinoma of thyroid in Graves’ disease.

Traditionally Grave's disease was considered as protection against thyroid cancer. The incidence of papillary carcinoma thyroid in grave’s disease is 2.4%. Thyroid cancer occurring in grave’s disease has higher frequency of persisting or relapsing disease than thyroid cancers occurring in matched euthyroid control patients. Here we present a case of papillary carcinoma in a Grave’s disease patient presented with nodular goiter.
