Calcific bursitis

Fig. 8.33a-d. Calcified bicipitoradial bursitis in a woman with chronic renal failure who presented with a palpable mass in the antecubital fossa and difficulties in pronation, a Photograph shows focal soft-tissue swelling (arrowheads) over the anterior proximal forearm, b Transverse and c longitudinal 12-5 MHz US images reveal extensive hyperechoic deposits (arrows) with faint posterior acoustic shadowing related to calcifications with the bicipitoradial bursa. The bursa exhibits thickened walls and the distal portion of the biceps tendon (T) is completely surrounded by calcifications, d Correlative lateral radiograph shows the bulk of calcifications (arrows) in the antecubital fossa... 

Fig. 8.53a,b. Calcific olecranon bursitis in a patient with renal osteodystrophy, a Posterior midsagittal 12-5 MHz US image with b lateral radiographic correlation demonstrates a large calcification (asterisks) that lies superficial to the insertion of the distal triceps tendon (arrowheads) reflecting an extensively calcified bursa. Note the relation of the mass with the posterior olecranon...
