*Metaplasia of muscle to bone
  −
*'''Localised'''
  −
**Only in single muscle or a single group of muscles
  −
**May be associated with trauma
  −
**Seen in horses and dogs
  −
**Histologically:
  −
***Central zone - proliferating undifferentiated cells and [[Chronic Inflammation - Introduction#Fibroblasts|fibroblasts]]
  −
***Middle zone - [[Bones - Anatomy & Physiology|osteoblasts]] depositing osteoid and bone
  −
***Outer zone - [[Bones - Anatomy & Physiology|trabecular bone]] remodelled by [[Bones - Anatomy & Physiology|osteoclasts]]
  −
*'''Progressive''' (fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva)
  −
**In connective tissue associated with skeletal muscle
  −
**Secondary involvement of muscle tissue
  −
**In pigs and cats
  −
**Histologically:
  −
***Bundles of dense fibrous connective tissue
  −
***May contain accumulations of cartilage, bone or calcium
  −
**Hyperplastic connective tissue -> compression of adjacent skeletal muscle -> [[Muscles Degenerative - Pathology#Atrophy|atrophy]]
