Tumoral pseudogout of the proximal interphalangeal joint of a finger: a case report and literature review.

Tumoral pseudogout is a rare clinical form of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease. Tumoral pseudogout can mimic other diseases such as chondroid tumor, tophaceous gout, or tumoral calcinosis. Its radiological features have been presented in some case reports, but no specific radiographic features have been identified. Here, we report an unusual case of recurrent tumoral pseudogout involving the proximal interphalangeal joint of the right long finger. This case presents with progressive radiological findings of the disease with an enlarging and recurrent calcified mass and secondary bony erosion and remodeling, along with a radiological-pathological correlation. We also review previously reported imaging findings of this disease entity, differential points in comparison to other diseases, and some key points for making the correct diagnosis.
