Subacromial Bursal Chondromatosis in a Patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Journal Title: Kerala Journal of Orthopaedics - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Introduction: A 51-year-old female, known rheumatoid arthritis patient, presented with soft fluctuant painful swelling of her left shoulder of 4 months duration. Imaging findings are presented which suggested subacromial bursal osteochondromatosis with rice bodies. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. Bursal osteochondromatosis though rare should be consider as a differential diagnosis in periarticular swellings.
