What is Olecranon bursitis related to calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease. Clinical and pathologic study about?

## Abstract A case of olecranon bursitis in an 81‐year‐old patient is presented. Analysis of the bursal fluid revealed positive birefringent crystals; radiographs showed calcifications in the distal triceps tendon. A bursectomy was performed. X‐ray diffraction analyses demonstrated calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate patterns in a subcutaneous “tophus”s and in a specimen of the tendon. On histologic examination, there was a bursitis with positive birefringent crystals on the bursa's inner surface; histologic images of “chondrocalcinosis's's were observed in and around the tendon. It is concluded that bursitis may be part of the extraarticular manifestations of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease.
