Abstract
A case of massive calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease (MCPDD) is reported. A 41-year-old Japanese man presented with swelling, intermittent pain, and limitation of motion in the wrist. Radiological studies indicated amorphous calcification and bone erosion. MCPDD, although rare, should be included in the list of the differential diagnosis of periarticular calcific diseases.
