Abstract
|
|
|
|
Here, we report the case of a 57-year-old female who had a lipoma in the subscapular space combined with a massive rotator cuff tear. To the best of our knowledge, lipomas in the subscapular space combined with a massive rotator cuff tear have not been reported previously. Tumor resection was performed through a medial approach. After tumor resection, arthroscopic in situ superior capsule reconstruction was performed using the long head of the biceps tendon with rotator cuff repair. The patient recovered well over postoperative 6 months and resumed activities of daily living and work without pain. Follow-up sonography performed at postoperative 6 months showed healed supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles without retear.
