Chondrocalcinosis Picture

Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition (CPPD) disease is an arthritis variant. CPPD actually is a chemical aberration that manifests as at least 4 separate, yet related, diseases. Chondrocalcinosis has been described as the streaking of the soft tissues with calcium. The term chondrocalcinosis sometimes is misapplied as a synonym for CPPD disease, but technically it refers to the visible presence of calcification within tissues on an imaging study.
