Soft tissue injuries constitute 30-50% of all sports related injuries; however, injury to the latissimus dorsi muscle is quite rare with only a few cases reported in the literature. Herein, we describe an acute traumatic tear of the latissimus dorsi muscle in an elite track athlete, which has not been reported in the track and field sports before. The injury was caused by forceful resisted arm adduction that took place at hurdling and starting from the block. A pseudotumor appearance in the axillary region was misdiagnosed as a mass. The diagnosis was made by ultrasound alone and the patient was managed conservatively.
软组织损伤占所有运动相关损伤的30%-50%；然而，背阔肌损伤相当罕见，文献中仅报道了少数病例。在此，我们描述了一名优秀田径运动员背阔肌的急性创伤性撕裂，这在田径运动中此前尚未有报道。该损伤是由跨栏和起跑时强力抗阻手臂内收所致。腋窝区域的假瘤样表现曾被误诊为肿块。仅通过超声做出诊断，患者接受了保守治疗。
