Deposition of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals in a soft tissue chondroma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystal deposits were found in an extraarticular chondroma of the soft parts overlying the distal phalanx of the right middle finger. The lesion appeared to arise from the flexor tenosynovium. The pathogenesis of soft tissue chondroma and the relation of cartilage metaplasia to the process of CPPD crystal deposition were investigated.

Clinical presentation and diagnosis of calcium deposition diseases
Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate and basic calcium phosphate crystals are commonly found in patients with calcium deposition diseases. Deposits of these crystals are common in the elderly and they have been implicated in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis. The presence of crystal deposits is often asymptomatic, although it can be intermittently symptomatic and elicit acute and chronic arthritis....
متن کاملCalcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition disease: diagnosis and treatment
Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease (CPPD) is an inflammatory arthritis produced by the deposition of calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystals in the synovium and periarticular soft tissues. It is the third most common inflammatory arthritis. Diagnosis is suspected on the basis of the clinical picture and radiographic/laboratory findings. The reference standard for the diagno...
متن کاملSclerochoroidal calcification associated with Gitelman syndrome and calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition.
Sclerochoroidal calcification is an uncommon condition. Metabolic evaluation and clinical examination are important to exclude associated systemic conditions such as the Bartter and Gitelman syndromes. It has been suggested that the lesions seen in sclerochoroidal calcification are calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals. This report describes the first documented case in the UK of sclerochoro...
متن کاملImaging studies of crystalline arthritides.
Gout, calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) deposition disease, and calcium hydroxyapatite deposition disease (HADD) are the three most common crystal-induced arthropathies. Multimodality imaging may help in their diagnosis, and is useful for a precise and comprehensive assessment and grading of the related osteoarticular damage. Plain film radiography, due to its low cost and wide availabilit...
متن کاملCalcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease: a case of cervical myelopathy in an elderly woman.
Cervical cord compression in elderly patients is usually degenerative in origin. We report a case of cervical cord compression due to focal deposition of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystals in the ligamentum flavum. A 76 year old woman presented with a 3 week history of severe neck pain associated with intermittent L’Hermitt’s type electric shock sensations down both arms. Over this...
