“…P GDD is defined as the deposition of PG crystals in the soft tissue and bones [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] . These PG crystals are characterized by numerous refractions under polarized light and positive staining with GHA 1 .…”

Case:A 76-year-old woman presented with a 2-month history of right shoulder pain with no apparent cause. Radiography revealed an ill-defined osteolytic lesion in the right scapular spine with a pathological fracture. Malignant bone tumor was suspected, and a biopsy was performed. Pathological examination with gold hydroxamic acid staining revealed phosphoglyceride crystal deposition. Lesion curettage was performed, and her symptoms improved. No recurrence was observed at the 3-year postoperative follow-up.Conclusion:Phosphoglyceride crystal deposition in the bone is an extremely rare disease. The gold hydroxamic acid staining method might be useful for the diagnosis of this condition.

“…PGDD is a very rare disease defined as phosphoglyceride crystals deposited as tumors in the soft tissue or bone with no relation to the joint ( 1 , 2 , 3 ). Phosphoglycerides are a class of phospholipids, which include lecithin and cephalin, and constitute a major component of cell membranes.…”

“…5,8 The other crystals show different characteristics as compared to PG crystals and no other crystals commonly seen in the human body are known to show the characteristic oxygen gas formation with reaction to 30% acetic acid such as PG crystals. 1 Radiologically, there is high uptake of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in the positron emission tomography scan as reported by Tokue et al, 9 simulating a high-grade sarcoma or an aggressive benign tumour. However, they concluded that, being a glucose analogue, FDG is also known to be taken up by inflamed tissue such as in PCDD.…”

“…Most of the previous cases showed a favourable outcome, such as cases reported by Nishimura et al 4 and Miki et al 9 which showed no recurrence after one year follow-up postresection. A case by Shoji et al 6 with an inoperable lesion within the heart and a case by Tokue et al, 7 in which the patient refused surgery also showed no change in tumour size during the latest follow-up.…”

“…However, an earlier case by Miura et al 1 showed recurrent multisystemic lesions with evidence of accumulation within the bone marrow, while a case by Yamada et al 5 twice showed recurrence of the lesion at the same site after 4 year intervals from each resection. Miki et al 9 recommended lifelong radiological surveillance in view of the detection of a slowly enlarging lesion within the heart during the 3 year follow-up of their case.…”
