a, b. Intramuscular infraspinatus cyst in a 58-year-old woman with a known partial-thickness supraspinatus tear, presenting with exacerbated posterior right shoulder pain during elevation and external rotation. Axial FS T2-weighted MRI (a) shows a teardrop-shaped homogeneously hyperintense subaponeurotic intramuscular lesion along the posterior surface of the scapula. Note its thin extension toward the musculotendinous junction (arrow). The glenoid labrum (dashed arrow) seems preserved. A sagittal section (b) better demonstrates the location of this lesion within the infraspinatous muscle. Scp, scapula; Isp, infraspinatous
