Ectopic means that something in the body is growing in a place it shouldn't be. Ossification is the creation of bone. So Ectopic Ossification refers to bone that is growing somewhere it shouldn't be growing. It can occur in many parts of the body . . . joints, inner ear, genitals, and other tissues.
