Calcium hydroxyapatite crystal deposition disease is characterized by the presence of basic calcium phosphate crystals--predominantly hydroxyapatite--in the periarticular soft tissues, especially the tendons. The entity is best recognized as "calcific tendinitis" at its most frequent site about the shoulder, but the disease involves numerous other sites and may be more appropriately termed calcific periarthritis. This article illustrates typical and atypical radiographic features of hydroxyapatite deposition, as well as some unusual manifestations of the disease. A brief review of various theories on the pathogenesis of the disease and a section on differential diagnosis is included.
羟基磷灰石晶体沉积病的特征是在关节周围软组织，尤其是肌腱中存在碱性磷酸钙晶体——主要是羟基磷灰石。该病症在肩部最常见的部位最好被认为是“钙化性肌腱炎”，但该疾病还累及许多其他部位，可能更恰当地称为钙化性关节炎。本文阐述了羟基磷灰石沉积典型和非典型的影像学特征，以及该疾病的一些不寻常表现。文中还简要回顾了关于该疾病发病机制的各种理论，并设有鉴别诊断部分。
