[A tumorous chondrocalcinosis].
Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) deposits are an accidental finding or they can be responsible for destructive osteoarthritis. Seldom they create a periarticular soft tissue tumour with or without bony destruction. We present a case of tumoral chondrocalcinosis that could have been mistaken for a malignant tumour without knowledge of the clinical course due to the high vascularity of the tumour.
