Abstract:
Case Report: We report a case of bicipitoradial bursitis, which is a rare mass lesion in cubital fossa. A 54-year-old woman visited our clinic with onemonth history of anterior elbow discomfort and mass lesion. She had a movable and hard mass lesion in cubital fossa. We checked imaging study with simple radiography and MRI. There was a 3.4x2.6x2.7 cm sized cystic mass lesion between biceps tendon and radial tuberosity with inflammatory change in the adjacent tissue on MRI. Enlarged bursa wrapping around the distal biceps tendon was excised and bursitis was confirmed by histologic examination. Bicipitoradial bursitis is a rare disease condition and must be differentiated with other neoplasm in cubital fossa.
