A rotator cuff tear causes shoulder pain and limits movement of the shoulder joint. A chronic degenerative change or impingement is the reason for a rotator cuff tear. Diagnosis is made based on medical history and, physical and radiological examinations. Other causes of shoulder pain include calcific tendinitis, degenerative arthropathy, joint dislocation, fracture, and primary or metastatic neoplasm. However, metastatic cancer in the shoulder joint is difficult to diagnosis. We experienced a case in which a 46-year-old female patient complained of left shoulder pain and limited joint mobility, and these symptoms were due to metastatic breast cancer in the shoulder.
肩袖撕裂会引起肩部疼痛并限制肩关节的活动。肩袖撕裂的原因是慢性退行性改变或撞击。根据病史、体格检查和影像学检查做出诊断。其他引起肩部疼痛的原因包括钙化性肌腱炎、退行性关节病、关节脱位、骨折、原发性或转移性肿瘤。然而，肩关节的转移性癌症很难诊断。我们遇到了一个 46 岁女性患者，她抱怨左肩部疼痛和关节活动受限，这些症状是由于肩部的转移性乳腺癌引起的。
