  • Title: A Large Size Lipoma at Spinoglenoid Notch Mimicked Traumatic Rotator Cuff Tear.
    Author: Kim JY, Choe JS, Cho JH.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Asian Pac Vol; 2018 Jun; 23(2):267-269. PubMed ID: 29734906.
    Abstract:
    Herein, we report a large lipoma at the spinoglenoid notch that mimicked a rotator cuff tear, which occurred in a 61-year-old male farmer. Weakness and pain in the shoulder started abruptly after hard labor, and our first impression was a traumatic rotator cuff tear; however, there was no tear on MRI, and complete marginal excision of a large lipoma at the spinoglenoid notch relieved the symptoms completely at a postoperative three-month follow-up visit. We believe that certain activities such as forceful shoulder abduction may have caused the sudden onset of suprascapular neuropathy in the loosely compressed suprascapular nerve by the lipoma.
