“…Furthermore, because there was no increase in inflammatory findings as in CPDD, it was difficult to differentiate the present lesions from tumor in this case. In addition, tumoral CPPDCD, especially at the wrist joint, is rare, with, to the best of our knowledge, only 2 articles having been published: Ohshio et al in 1991 [ 6 ] and Yamakawa et al in 2001 [ 3 ].…”

Introduction. Tumoral calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystal deposition disease (CPPDCD), also known as tophaceous calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPDD), is a tumorlike lesion, and it should be distinguished from usual CPDD that causes severe joint inflammation and arthralgia. A case of tumoral CPPDCD of the wrist joint that required differentiation from synovial osteochondromatosis is described. Case Presentation. The patient was a 78-year-old woman with a 5-year history of nodular lesions at the right wrist that had gradually increased in size. An excisional biopsy and a histological examination of the excised nodular lesions by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining were performed, demonstrating numerous polarizable, rhabdoid, and rectangular crystals, surrounded by fibroblasts, macrophages, and foreign body-type giant cells, consistent with tumoral CPPDCD. Conclusion. Tumoral CPPDCD, especially at the wrist joint, is rare, and, to the best of our knowledge, only 2 articles have been published. This case seems to need further follow-up for recurrence, because tumoral CPPDCD may recur after complete or incomplete surgical excision.

“…We reviewed the literature on the hand and finger presentations ( Table 1). In addition, 2 patients presented with a tumor in the elbow, 7,17 one had a tumor in the wrist, 18 and one had a tumor in the shoulder. 19 Average age of patients with tophaceous pseudogout in the upper limb was 59.2 years, which did not differ from the average age reported by Ishida et al 4 (59.7 years).…”

A 53-year-old man presented to our hospital reporting having detected a mass in the right index finger. We excised the mass, which appeared to be derived from the volar plate and had chalky white depositions at the cutting surface. Histological observations revealed chondrometaplasia and calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal traces, although crystals were not evident owing to decalcification. It was diagnosed as tophaceous pseudogout, which predominantly occurs in the temporomandibular joint. Occurrence in the fingers is rare. Although some studies reported postexcision recurrence, no obvious signs of recurrence were observed at 2.5 years' follow-up in the patient in this report.

“…• la forme diffuse et disséminée apparaît en général au cours d'une maladie métabolique phosphocalcique primitive ou héréditaire, au sein d'un foyer d'ischémie ou à la suite d'un traumatisme [8]. Elle évolue à bas bruit ; • la forme diffuse mais unifocale ou limitée à deux ou trois localisations [2] est en revanche très douloureuse et entraîne des phénomènes inflammatoires.…”
