Reason: Evaluate for etiology of pain in triceps (?torn muscle, ?mass lesion) History: Pain in L triceps muscle The alignment of the glenohumeral joint is anatomic. The bone marrow signal of the visualized osseous structures are within normal limits. No abnormal nonenhancing structure or fluid collection is identified. The triceps muscle appear within normal limits. Although this study is not optimal for evaluation of shoulder, there appears to be rotator cuff pathology.
No specific abnormality of the triceps muscle to account for patient's pain. Likely rotator cuff pathology on this limited evaluation of the shoulder. If there is clinical concern, dedicated shoulder MRI may be obtained.
