OBJECTIVETo describe a rare case of tumoral cervical chondrocalcinosis that appeared 28 years after the patient had undergone suboccipital craniotomy. CLINICAL PRESENTATIONA 42-year-old woman suffered from cervicalgia associated with a firm mass at the occipitocervical region. Plain x-ray and computed tomographic and magnetic resonance images revealed a calcified lesion in a scar from a previous suboccipital craniotomy. INTERVENTIONThe patient underwent tumorectomy and histopathology, which…

Tophaceous pseudogout of the thoracic spine
TLDR
The case of a 72-year-old man with 6 months of left chest pain; magnetic resonance imaging revealed a T9/T10 herniated disc, and material was sent for pathological analysis revealing pseudogout, demonstrates a unique presentation of CPDD.
Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition Disease of the Temporomandibular Joint*
TLDR
This case demonstrates that CPDD can involve the skull base and is best treated with skull base surgical techniques, and was consistent with tophaceous pseudogout.
Tophaceuos calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease of the temporomandibular joint: the preferential site?
Tumors and Tumor-Like Lesions
TLDR
Tumors and pseudotumors can mimic more common non-neoplastic conditions given that pain and impairment are common features and concentrate on these aspects and on imaging of the most prevalent, although rare, TMJ tumors.

Tumoral calcinosis in the upper cervical spine causing progressive radiculomyelopathy--case report.
TLDR
A 54-year-old woman with chronic renal failure presented with tumoral calcinosis manifesting as progressive radiculomyelopathy, a rare tumoral calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease which presents as periarticular soft tissue calcification.
Tumoral Calcium Pyrophosphate Dihydrate Deposition Disease of the Ligamentum Flavum
TLDR
Tumoral CPPDD of the ligamentum flavum is rare and commonly occurs among middle-age or elderly female patients and presents with progressive myelopathy, and Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are complementary in the diagnosis of this condition.
Tumoral Calcinosis in the Upper Cervical Spine: A Case Report
TLDR
Tumoral calcinosis should be included among the clinical presentations of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease.
Calcium pyrophosphate arthropathy of the spine: case report and review of the literature.
TLDR
A 50-year-old woman who presented with an acute herniated disc syndrome secondary to an intraspinal inflammatory calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease mass at the level of the L4-L5 interspace is reported.
Spinal cord compression due to tumoral idiopatic calcinosis
TLDR
Tumoral calcinosis is an uncommon cause of mass lesions of the spine and constitutes a treatable cause of paraparesis and should be considered in differential diagnosis of spinal cord compression.
Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposits in the cervical ligamenta flava causing myeloradiculopathy.
Three cases of cervical myeloradiculopathy associated with multiple calcified nodules containing identified calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystals in the ligamenta flava are described, with…
Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease in cervical radiculomyelopathy.
TLDR
One patient had cervical spinal canal stenosis with radiculomyelopathy due to deposition of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate within the ligamentum flavum and the literature was reviewed to acknowledge so-call "pseudogout syndrome".
Deposition of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals in the ligamentum flavum: evaluation with MR imaging and CT.
TLDR
Four patients had spinal canal stenosis associated with deposition of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate within the ligamentum flavum causing either focal or diffuse enlargement, which can be associated with significant spinal stenosis.
Tumoral calcinosis
TLDR
A 60-year old patient with a clinical history of peripheral vascular disease and joint pains presented with a slowly progressive painful mass in the left hip region, which showed a giant calcified mass around the left femur, characteristic for tumoral calcinosis.
Myeloradiculopathy secondary to pseudogout in the cervical ligamentum flavum: case report.
TLDR
A review of seven previously reported cases along with the present case failed to reveal trauma as a causative factor, and the diagnosis of CPPD crystal deposition was determined by polarized light microscopy and energy-dispersive x-ray microanalysis in frozen sections of the biopsy specimen.
