Abstract:
We report the imaging findings in extra-articular chondrocalcinosis in a 53-year-old man with swelling and pain in right scapular area for 1 year. Plain radiography showed a right scapular area calcific mass. The clinical suspicion was of a soft tissue sarcoma. As a part of diagnostic workup, a bone scan and a PET/CT scan were done. Bone scan revealed intense MDP uptake in the right scapular area. FDG PET/CT revealed intense FDG uptake in the mass. The biopsy revealed chondrocalcinosis. This is an addition to our long list of causes of extraosseous uptake of MDP.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
