Musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (M00-M99).
- Rotator cuff rupture – tear of the muscle cuff involved in the shoulder joint [rotator cuff: supraspinatus muscle, infraspinatus muscle, teres minor muscle, and subscapularis muscle].
- Tendinosis calcarea (calcific shoulder) – calcification mostly in the area of the attachment tendon of the supraspinatus muscle; prevalence (disease frequency): about 10% in asymptomatic patients/about 50% becomes symptomatic; often spontaneously regresses (regressing); more men than women; frequency of bilateral: 8-40%.
- Shoulder dislocation (shoulder dislocation), hooked dorsal.
Neoplasms – tumor diseases (C00-D48)
- Tumors, unspecified
Note: In patients with adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) who do not respond to therapy, the cause of the symptoms could be tumor disease (bronchial carcinoma (lung cancer), breast carcinoma (breast cancer), and non-Hodgkin lymphoma). The authors do not consider general screening from a benefit-risk point of view to be sufficient, taking into account the available data.
