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.
焦磷酸钙二水合物沉积病（CPPD），又称假性痛风或软骨钙质沉着症，是一种由焦磷酸钙二水合物晶体在关节内外沉积引起的代谢性关节病。尽管有许多病例报告，但关节外 CPPD 常常未被识别。在这里，我们报告了一例胰腺尾部假性囊肿和脾 CPPD 的独特病例。据我们所知，脾 CPPD 尚未在文献中报道。
