Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition Disease of the Temporomandibular Joint*

Journal of Neurological Surgery Reports, 2012
Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease (CPDD, tophaceous pseudogout) is a rare crystal arthropathy characterized by calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition in joint spaces, episodes of synovitis, and radiological features of ...

Calcified Chondroid Mesenchymal Neoplasm of the Temporomandibular Joint: A Rare and Recently Described Benign Tumor

Case Reports in Otolaryngology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The calcified chondroid mesenchymal neoplasm (CCMN) was first recognized as a distinct pathologic entity in 2021 at the University of Washington, and fewer than 100 cases of CCMN have been described in the literature. The CCMN tumor is characterized by the presence of chondroid matrix elements with an FN1–receptor TK gene fusion. CCMNs frequently arise

An approach to monoarthritis

Journal of Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, 2014
Monoarthritis can be inflammatory or non-inflammatory, and can be acute or chronic. A thorough history and physical examination can differentiate inflammatory from non-inflammatory monoarthritis. The most common causes of acute inflammatory monoarthritis

Crowned dens syndrome

Clinical Case Reports, 2020
Crowned dens syndrome (CDS) is rare, though likely underdiagnosed, typically presenting with fever, neck pain, and stiffness. Adequate clinical awareness may streamline diagnostics and therapeutics and avoid the need for invasive procedures.

Further Evidence That Chondrocalcinosis 1 (CCAL1) is a Confirmed Mendelian Phenotype With a Known Molecular Basis

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 197, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Chondrocalcinosis (CCAL), also known as calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease (CPPDD), is a frequent multifactorial condition in the elderly, but there are two rare autosomal dominant Mendelian forms, CCAL1 (OMIM %600668) and CCAL2. Only three families with molecularly proven CCAL1 have been reported.

Reactive Arthritis Unmasked by Tuberculosis: A Rare Case of Poncet's Disease With Disseminated TB in a Malnourished Young Adult

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Poncet's disease is a rare, non‐destructive reactive arthritis that occurs in the presence of active tuberculosis (TB) without direct joint infection. It is often underrecognized in TB‐endemic regions due to its clinical overlap with septic or autoimmune arthritis.

Revisiting the Genetics of Hypophosphatasia

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 48, Issue 6, November 2025.
Overview of the genetic concepts in hypophosphatasia reviewed in this manuscript. ABSTRACT Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare, inherited monogenic disorder that is typically caused by variants in the tissue‐nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (ALPL) gene.

Diagnostic value of polarized optical microscopy in pseudogout: A review of calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease in the clinical laboratory [PDF]

Medical Laboratory Journal
Background: Pseudogout, also known as calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) disease, is a common but often underdiagnosed crystal-induced arthropathy. It occurs when CPPD crystals deposit in articular cartilage and synovial fluid.
