[Shoulder_Case_#03] [Challenging level] Acute calcific periarthritis

Supraspinatus calcific tendinitis is well known; 

 

However, calcific deposits may occur less commonly in other structures in and around the shoulder joint 

(The long head of the biceps tendon, labrum, and periarticular soft tissue). 

 

In view of involvement of these other sites, the more appropriate term for the condition is calcific periarthritis

 

Small calcifications may sometimes be missed, especially when there is extensive adjacent inflammation leading to misdiagnoses. 

 

The MRI appearances may be mistaken for infection or neoplasm.
