Juxta-articular synovial cyst of the shoulder.
A case of an unusual synovial cyst with both intra- and extraosseous components found in the proximal humerus of a patient with osteoarthritis is presented. The importance of this lesion is that it should be recognized as a manifestation of the underlying osteoarthritis and does not represent a more serious primary lesion.
