This case report describes an obese child with subcutaneous calcification that led to fixed flexion deformity of the elbow, starting at an incredibly early age. Hypothyroidism and pseudohypoparathyroidism raised the suspicion of AHO, which was later confirmed by genetic testing. This is the first case report on fixed flexion deformity in a patient with GNAS mutation (c.719-1G > A Chr20: 57484737) in West Asia.
