Heterotopic Ossification on the Right Atrial Wall of an 11 year old Alsation - A Case Report

Abstract

Heterotopic ossification (HO) is the formation of mature histologically indistinguishable lamella bone in soft tissues which normally exhibits no properties of ossification. HO does not grow out of bone, is not connected to periosteum and is not formed intra-articularly (Maheswarappa et al., 2004). We report here, the occurrence of a heterotopic bone in the right atrial wall in suspected case of canine leptospirosis.
