Progressively Increasing Teres Minor Calcific Tendinopathy in an Elderly Male

Abstract

Calcific tendinopathy is a common pathology involving a variety of tendons across many joints. It is most commonly seen involving tendons of the rotator cuff with supraspinatus being the favorite. It can mimic aggressive pathologies such as neoplasms resulting in unnecessary interventions. Rarely, it involves teres minor tendon. We report a case of teres minor calcific tendinopathy detected over serial radiographs and diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging.
