Calcific tendinopathy of the shoulder is characterised by the deposit of hydroxy apatite crys tals in one or more tendons of the shoulder. Within the processes that occur within this disorder, there is the resorption phase, in which the deposits could migrate towards adjacent structures. A very rare complication is the migration towards the myotendinous junction of the corresponding tendon, which causes a significant muscular inflammatory reaction that can be seen in specific complementary tests.

A clinical case is presented of a subscapular calcific tendinopathy, with subsequent migra tion to the myotendinous junction, causing myositis of the same.

Palabras clave : Calcific tendinopathy; Resorption; Myotendinous junction; Muscular oedema.
