Idiopathic calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease, also known as pseudogout, typically affects multiple joints. This case report highlights a rare instance of single-joint (monoarticular) pseudogout in the hip.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Orthopedics
  • Crystal-induced Arthropathies

Background:

  • Idiopathic calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPPD), or pseudogout, is characterized by crystal deposition in joints.
  • While often polyarticular, CPPD can present atypically.

Observation:

  • A case of primary monoarticular pseudogout affecting the hip is presented.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed through arthroscopic examination and specimen analysis.

Findings:

  • Monoarticular pseudogout is an uncommon manifestation of CPPD.
  • The hip joint can be a rare site for isolated pseudogout.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering monoarticular pseudogout in the differential diagnosis of joint pain, even when polyarticular involvement is more typical.

  • Diagnostic considerations for hip pain should include CPPD, particularly when other causes are excluded.
