摘要
Both pseudogout and cellulitis are diseases that may mimic one another in clinical practice. We discuss two cases of acute calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) arthritis mistaken for cellulitis in the emergency department. Both patients experienced significant improvement after management was changed to treat CPPD. These cases highlight how it is essential for physicians to consider CPPD as a differential diagnosis for a patient that is presenting with signs of inflammation in any joint.
