case_images: The shoulder had limited movements in comparison to the normal side and mostly abduction and forward elevation (Figure 1).

case_images: Radiographic control showed a radiolucent cystic lesion with multiple diaphragms, well-defined margins, and with expansion of the scapular cortices (Figure 2).

case_images: Blood tests were normal. 99mTc-MDP scintigraphy showed increased uptake of the drug mostly at the periphery of the lesion. (Figure 3) Computed tomography showed the size (oviform with 8 x 8 x 10 cm dimensions) and the extension into the axillary fold as well as the cortical defect at the posterior surface of the cyst (Figure 4).
