A case (73-year-old female) of chondrocalcinosis with destructive coxarthrosis was reported. The case had complained of slight pain in her left knee and severe pain in her hip for several months.X-ray findings of the left hip showed severe destructive changes of the femoral head and of the acetabulum with subluxation, and those of the left knee showed calcification of the meniscus. Laboratory data of the blood and urine were normal, but microscopic study on the joint fluid of the hip and of the knee revealed CPPD crystals through the compensated polarized light.Total hip replacement was carried out for the hip. Histological findings of the femoral head were almost the same as those of ordinary coxarthrosis. However, histological findings of the synovium showed many CPPD crystal depositions on the surface.
