Calcific bursitis of the shoulder

Most of calcification is in bursa with hypervascularity. Small amount of calcification in supraspinatus. Rupture of supraspinatus calcification into bursa leads to bursitis and acute pain.
Case Discussion
The findings are compatible with calcific bursitis of the shoulder.
