Abstract
Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) deposition disease is an inflammatory arthritis induced by calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystals and clinically it is called pseudogout. It usually deposits in articular cartilage and in periarticular soft tissues. But no cases of pseudogout in the rotator cuff without cartilage deposition or destruction have been reported so far. We present a case of a 57-year-old woman who was diagnosed as pseudogout with rotator cuff tear.
