Suprascapular nerve entrapment, often misdiagnosed, can be caused by benign lipomatous tumors. This case report details a rare instance of a lipoma in the spinoglenoid notch compressing the suprascapular nerve.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Neurology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Suprascapular nerve entrapment is a recognized cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging due to varied presentations and overlapping symptoms with other shoulder pathologies.

Observation:

  • A case of a benign lipomatous tumor identified as the cause of suprascapular nerve entrapment in the spinoglenoid notch is presented.
  • The report details the patient's history, clinical examination findings, and radiographic evaluations.
  • This specific etiology, a lipoma within the spinoglenoid notch, is uncommon.

Findings:

  • The benign lipomatous tumor was found to be compressing the suprascapular nerve.
  • Diagnostic imaging confirmed the presence and location of the lipoma.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Clinical presentation correlated with nerve compression symptoms.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering soft tissue tumors, particularly lipomas, in the differential diagnosis of suprascapular nerve entrapment.
    • Suggests that detailed imaging may be crucial for identifying rare causes of nerve compression.
    • Contributes to the literature by documenting a unique case of lipomatous etiology for this condition.
