Parsonage-Turner syndrome and a localised swelling around the extensor tendons of the hand : a clinical sign indicating increased risk of rupture of the tendon

• Two patients presented with intense pain in the shoulder followed by weakness and paralysis of muscles in the shoulder and arm, together with a peculiar swelling on the hand. The swelling seems to predispose to rupture of the extensor tendon. If this tumour is a regular finding in Parsonage-Turner syndrome, it may also help in making a definitive diagnosis.
