Abstract

Multiple rice bodies in joints or bursae are rarely encountered in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Wereport the radiologic findings of massive subacromial bursitis with innumerable rice bodies on the right shoulderof a 38-year-old man with rheumatoid arthritis. Subacromial bursography showed markedly distended bursa withmultiple nodular filling defects. Preconstrast CT scanning revealed well-demarcated hypodense lesion withoutcalcification in subacromio-subdeltoid bursa. Multiple rice bodies showed slightly high signal intensity on T1WIand T2WI, and no enhancement after gadolinium injection.
