Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP), better known as Stone Man Syndrome (SMS), is a rare genetic condition characterised by progressive heterotopic ossification that severely limits mobility. Misdiagnosis and mishandling of FOP are relatively common. Even harder to identify, atypical manifestations of FOP might result in iatrogenic harm that causes lasting disability. We describe the case of a 10-year-old girl who presented with complaints of a spine deformity and several back swellings that had been present for a year without any prior medical history. Upon examination, many hard bone swellings of varying sizes were observed on the back, along with a right sided mid-dorsal scoliosis that was accentuated when the patient bent forward. A skeletal survey identified the following abnormalities: bilateral short and broad femoral neck, pseudo-exostosis over the distal femur and proximal tibia, fusion of the lower cervical spinous process, and hallux valgus deformity in the left foot. The ACVR1 gene's p.R206H mutation was linked to FOP by sequencing. In this unusual presentation of SMS/FOP, the danger of misdiagnosis and mismanagement has been avoided thanks to the confirmation of the diagnosis through genetic investigation. Future therapeutic strategies for FOP may benefit from understanding the varying phenotypic expressivity of the condition.
