Report

Patient History
18-year-old with myofascial pain

Findings
ROTATOR CUFF: Normal.

SUBACROMIAL/SUBDELTOID BURSA: Normal.

MUSCLES (ROTATOR CUFF/DELTOID, TRAPEZIUS, PECTORALIS): Large oval soft tissue mass involves primarily the supraspinatus and to a lesser extent the infraspinatus and subscapularis. The mass demonstrates marked heterogeneity and on some slices resembles a “bowl of fruit.” Blood products are noted. Infiltration of the adjacent skeleton.

BICEPS TENDON: Normal.

AC JOINT: Normal.

CORACOCLAVICULAR LIGAMENTS: Normal.

SUBACROMIAL ARCH/OUTLET: Normal.

SUBCORACOID ARCH: Normal.

GLENOHUMERAL JOINT: Normal.

GLENOID LABRUM: Normal.

BONES: Abnormal with diffuse infiltration of the scapula with evidence of bone destruction and cortical disruption. Findings compatible with an aggressive neoplastic process.

SUBCUTANEOUS SOFT TISSUES: Diffuse swelling.

AXILLA: Abnormal adenopathy increased in number but not necessarily size.

Impressions
Large soft tissue mass involving a flat bone or the scapula measuring 7.7 cm mediolateral, 4.86 cm craniocaudal, and 4 cm anteroposterior. Given the presence of bone destruction, lesion size, lesion hemorrhage, and heterogeneity in a child, favor the diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma.
