Osteochondromatosis - long head biceps tendon sheath
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/147745/annotated_viewer_json?iframe=true\u0026lang=us"}
Numerous ossicles project over the proximal humerus in line with the bicipital groove. Severe glenohumeral osteoarthritis characterized by joint space narrowing and marginal osteophytes.
Case Discussion
This case of synovial osteochondromatosis is secondary to severe glenohumeral osteoarthritis with migration into the long head of biceps occurring as it is in continuation with the glenohumeral joint.
