Explore: Pathologic Ossification

Ectopic calcification is a pathologic deposition of calcium salts in tissues or bone growth in soft tissues. This can be a symptom of hyperphosphatemia

Myositis ossificans comprises two syndromes characterized by heterotopic ossification (calcification) of muscle. In 2020, the World Health Organization classified

bone matrix by osteoclasts and can be interpreted as the reverse of ossification. Although osteoclasts are active during the natural formation of healthy

outlet syndrome. Like other ribs, the cervical ribs form by endochondral ossification. The cervical ribs of sauropod dinosaurs were extended by ossified tendons

part of the temporal bone in humans resulting from a defect in normal ossification during the first five years of life. The structure was found in 4.6%

pain, difficulty swallowing or even dyspnea. Similar calcification and ossification may be seen at peripheral entheseal sites, including the shoulder, iliac

features such as mild ground-glass opacity, reticular pattern and pulmonary ossification. Probable UIP pattern: Predominantly subpleural and basal Often heterogenous

individuals will have abnormally ossified vertebrae, abnormal pelvis bone ossification, anterior rib punctate calcifications and brachydactyly. The second defining

describes the characteristic appearance of a central calcification or ossification surrounded by radiolucent fatty tissue on imaging, resembling a bullseye

by osteoclasts, and is deposited by osteoblasts in a process called ossification. Osteocyte activity plays a key role in this process. Conditions that
