X-ray confirmed calcific deposits (약 15mm × 10mm) in the right supraspinatus tendon; ultrasound-guided calcific aspiration was performed. Calcium was aspirated, and follow-up X-ray at follow-up showed a marked reduction in calcific opacity.

Pre-procedure X-ray confirmed calcium deposits (약 15mm × 10mm) in the right supraspinatus tendon; ultrasound also revealed a hyperechoic nodule with posterior acoustic shadowing. Under ultrasound guidance, calcific aspiration was performed, successfully crushing and aspirating the calcium deposits. Follow-up X-ray at follow-up showed a marked decrease in calcific opacity, with ongoing natural resorption of residual calcium confirmed.

This patient presented with right shoulder pain due to calcific tendinitis confirmed on X-ray (deposit size: 약 15mm × 10mm). Given the size of the deposits and severity of symptoms, same-day ultrasound-guided calcific aspiration was performed. The calcium was successfully aspirated during the procedure. Pain improved markedly from the procedure day or the following day. Follow-up imaging at follow-up confirmed significant reduction in calcific opacity, and the patient returned to daily activities without discomfort.
