  • 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:
  • 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 -> atrophy
