  • Title: Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease of the spleen.
    Author: Hsu YC, Chang CW, Lin CL, Lai CT.
    Journal: Am J Surg; 2010 Aug; 200(2):e28-9. PubMed ID: 20538255.
    Abstract:
    Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease (CPPD), also known as pseudogout or chondrocalcinosis, is a variety of metabolic arthropathy caused by the deposition of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals in and around joints. Despite many case reports, extra-articular CPPD often goes unrecognized. Here, we report a unique case of pancreatic tail pseudocyst and CPPD of the spleen. To the best of our knowledge, CPPD of the spleen has not been reported in the literature.
