A case of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) arthropathy of the temporomandibular joint, seen in a 54-year-old woman, is reported. The patient presented an eight-year history of diffuse swelling with tenderness over the right preauricular region. Surgical exploration of the right temporomandibular joint disclosed calcified masses that were identified as CPPD crystalline materials by histologic and infrared spectrophotometric studies. The occurrence of CPPD arthropathy of the temporomandibular joint is very rare, and this is only the fourth report of such a case, to our knowledge.
报告了一例54岁女性颞下颌关节二水焦磷酸钙（CPPD）关节病。患者有8年右侧耳前区弥漫性肿胀伴压痛病史。对右侧颞下颌关节进行手术探查，发现钙化肿块，经组织学和红外分光光度研究确定为CPPD晶体物质。据我们所知，颞下颌关节CPPD关节病的发生非常罕见，这是此类病例的第四份报告。
