Calcific tendinosis of rotator cuff with intraosseous extension

Abstract: Calcific tendinosis is characterized by macroscopic deposits of hydroxyapatite within the tendon. Commonest location is rotator cuff of shoulder. Cortical erosion with intraosseous migration of calcium deposits is rare complication of this condition. It may be confused with neoplasm or infection, resulting in unnecessary biopsies or interventions. The knowledge of this uncommon complication and its appearance should enable its detection by imaging and lead to specific treatment.

“…On MRI, low-signal calcifications were detected at the supraspinatus, and intraosseous migration toward the greater tuberosity and perilesional subchondral bone edema were also noted. As reported by Jain et al, recognizing continuity between osseous lesions and calcific tendinitis is essential for accurate differential diagnosis from tumors and infections [ 6 ].…”

“…This osseous involvement may manifest itself as intraosseous calcific deposits, cortical destruction, bone marrow edema, or osteolytic lesions in the humeral head at the insertion site of the affected tendon [29]. Clinical detection of osseous involvement is crucial not only to plan treatment but also to prevent overtreatment due to misdiagnoses such as possible bone tumors and infection [18, 21, 30].…”
