We report a case of a 66-year-old white woman with calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystal deposition disease. The patient related a 2-month history of swelling with tenderness over the left pre-auricular region. A CT scan suggested a synovial chondromatosis. Surgical removal was done and histologic study showed CPPD crystals. This disease rarely involves the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and is not usually considered in the differential diagnosis. To our knowledge, only 14 cases have been reported in the literature.
我们报告一例66岁白人女性的二水焦磷酸钙(CPPD)晶体沉积病。患者自述左耳前区域肿胀伴压痛2个月。CT扫描提示滑膜软骨瘤病。进行了手术切除,组织学研究显示存在CPPD晶体。这种疾病很少累及颞下颌关节(TMJ),通常不在鉴别诊断中考虑。据我们所知,文献中仅报道了14例。
