In the common extensor tendon, a hypoechoic ill-defined area with hypervascularity is present in anterior-superior mid-depth fibers. There are no calcification/ cystic changes. The deeper fibers (radial collateral ligament) show a normal fibrillary echo pattern.
Case Discussion
An adult male presented with the atraumatic origin of lateral elbow pain. The clinical diagnosis was lateral epicondylitis. The ultrasound requested to rule out a tear of the common extensor tendon. Ultrasound findings suggest lateral epicondylitis without a tear.
