Abstract
Acute calcium deposition disease is characterized by calcium hydroxyapatite crystal deposition within tendons and surrounding tissue of joints. It can manifest acute or chronic. It’s most common symptom is pain in affected area. Two patients applied to our outpatient clinic with complaints of hand pain. Calcific masses were detected by radiological imaging. After radiological imaging and laboratory examinations the patients diagnosed acute calcium deposition disease. One of the patients had ongoing symptoms for 2 years, the other one had ongoing symptoms for 3 years. Both of the patients had tried conservative treatment multiple times. These patients were treated surgically because of long-standing symptoms. Although acute calcium deposition disease usually resolves spontaneously with conservative treatment, patients with recurrent or persistent lesions can be treated surgically.
