This article is about the non-genetic type of myositis ossificans. For the genetic type, see fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva.

Myositis ossificans comprises two syndromes characterized by heterotopic ossification (calcification) of muscle. In 2020, the World Health Organization classified myositis ossificans together with fibro-osseous pseudotumor of digits as a single specific entity in the category of fibroblastic and myofibroblastic tumors.[1]
