Introduction

Space-occupying lesions (SOL) other than cysts involving the suprascapular nerve at the suprascapular notch are rare.

Case Report

A 64-year-old female presented with a 6-month history of severe left shoulder pain and restricted motion. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a SOL in the suprascapular notch, which was hyperintense on T2-weighted and isointense on T1-weighted images. Open surgical excision of the mass was performed. Histopathological assessment established the diagnosis of benign schwannoma. At the most recent follow-up at 23 months, the Oxford shoulder score was 43, and the MRI showed no recurrence.

Discussion

Surgeons must appreciate that a suprascapular notch schwannoma is a rare cause of shoulder pain that must be identified by subtle radiological signs. Additionally, it is important to appropriately counsel the patients regarding the prolonged recovery course.
