[Adolescent bicipitoradial bursitis: a rare disease that can simulate a malignant tumor].
Bicipitoradial bursitis is a rare condition: we found 36 cases reported in the literature, none in children. The main manifestation is a painful tumefaction. We report a case observed in an adolescent whose magnetic resonance imaging findings were compatible with a malignant tumor. Surgical biopsy enabled the correct diagnosis of inflammatory synovium without signs of malignancy compatible with bicipitoradial bursitis. Complete cure was achieved without resection.
