case_images: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed rupture of the right supraspinatus tendon (Figure 1).
case_images: Arthroscopic view of the torn rotator cuff. A medium-sized tear, 15 mm in diameter, of the supraspinatus tendon was seen via a posterolateral portal to the subacromial space. The long tendon of the biceps was noted through the torn portion of the supraspinatus.

case_images: At the attachment site of the supraspinatus tendon, a 1.5-cm rupture was observed (Figure 2).
case_images: Contrast-enhanced CT of the lung. The coronal reconstructed image (a) revealed thrombi in the superior and inferior lobe branches of the right pulmonary artery (yellow arrows). The transverse image (b) showed a thrombus in the superior lobe branch of the left pulmonary artery (yellow arrow).
