Abstract
A72-year-old male with a history of bilateral rotator cuff tears presented to his primary care physician (PCP) with complaints of chronic shoulder pain and fatigue. Upon physical examination, a palpable mass was noted between his left shoulder and elbow, although he could not recall when the mass first appeared. Left arm cogwheel rigidity was also noted on physical examination. He denied any tenderness to the left shoulder, elbow, or previous mass palpation. The location of the mass is consistent with Popeye’s sign, a hallmark of biceps tendon rupture. He was referred to an orthopedic surgeon for evaluation but opted instead to strengthen his shoulder through physical therapy.
