Frontometaphyseal dysplasia 2 associated with thoracic deformity, and pulmonary arterial hypertension: a case report and review of literature.

Frontometaphyseal dysplasia 2 (FMD2) is a rare disease caused by MAP3K7 gene mutation. We report a 7-year-old sporadic patient with FMD2 due to a de novo splicing variant in MAP3K7. He has the common characteristics of FMD2 but also has some characteristics that have never been reported, which increases the clinical phenotype of FMD2. Moreover, no systematic description of the imaging characteristics of FMD2 in computed tomography (CT) is available. In the present work, we found some different features of FMD2, reviewed previous literature, and summarized the general imaging manifestations of FMD2. This case emphasizes the important clinical value of CT and VR in the diagnosis of FMD2. We can clearly find the characteristics of FMD2 by CT examination, indicating its great significance for the prompt diagnosis and treatment of FMD2 patients.
