摘要
Objective. To present and discuss six cases of calcific tendinitis in atypical locations tone at the insertion of the pectoralis major and five at the insertion of the gluteus maximus). Patients and results. All cases were associated with cortical erosions, and five had soft tissue calcifications. The initial presentation was confusing and the patients were suspected of having infection or neoplastic disease. Conclusion. Calcific tendinitis is a self-limiting condition. It is important to recognize the imaging features of this condition to avoid unnecessary investigation and surgery.
