ABSTRACT
Phosphoglycerides are the major lipid component of all cell membranes. Phosphoglyceride crystal deposition disease (PCDD) is defined as the deposition of phosphoglyceride crystals and is considered a lipid metabolic disorder. It predominantly involves injured soft tissues, ultimately forming foreign body granulomas. We present a case of complete resection of PCDD in a 48-year-old woman, in whom the PCDD originated from a myocardial wound created at the time of surgical repair of a ventricular septal defect 40 years ago. We underscore that familiarity with this disease entity will help to stimulate accurate diagnosis and timely treatment.
