Abstract
Dr. William H. Harris: A 61-year-old woman came to the orthopedic outpatient department of the Massachusetts General Hospital because of pain in her right shoulder. Her discomfort had existed for three months and had not been relieved by injections of hydrocortisone into her shoulder and earlier injections into her buttocks. She had not injured her arm but she had had a similar episode of pain in this shoulder 20 years previously which had subsided spontaneously and had not recurred until the time of this complaint. She gave no history of cough, hemoptysis, or weight loss, and had no other symptoms. Her past medical history included a total hysterectomy in 1937, pyelonephritis in the right kidney in 1939, incision and drainage of the dilated right renal calyx in 1940, anterior and posterior vaginal repair in 1953, and sigmoid diverticulosis in 1957.
