Shoulder pain and swelling.

  • 1There is a solitary, unilocular, well-defined lucent lesion centrally located within the proximal humeral metaphysis which extends into the proximal diaphysis, occupying the entire diameter of the bone
  • 2The lesion is mildly expansile with mild cortical thinning
  • 3No periosteal reaction is evident
  • 4There are multiple lucent fracture lines extending through the lesion, with two small comminuted cortical fragments within the lesion , representing the "fallen fragment sign." There is minimal offset and no angulation of the distal humerus.
