Calcific tendinitis of the supraspinatus tendon with penetration the greater tuberosity cortex (yellow arrowhead).
Case Discussion
More often, the penetration of calcium into the cortex occurs at the level of the tuberosity where there are associated signs of calcific tendinopathy of supraspinatus.
Cortical erosions and intraosseous migration of calcifications associated with calcific tendinopathy of supraspinatus can lead to the differential diagnosis of tumor and infection.
