Abstract

A 10-year-old male presented with symptoms in his right shoulder indicative of adhesive capsulitis. Radiographic films did not demonstrate any osseous abnormalities. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated the presence of an eccentric lesion within the coracoid process consistent with an osteoid osteoma. Six months after surgical removal the patient is back to full activities. For the pediatric population, surgeons must always consider diagnoses that could alter a patient's growth or result in long-term disability. In particular, an atypical presentation of musculoskeletal disease in a pediatric patient presenting with a disease that typically is seen in the older population warrants further workup.
