  Fig. 1. (A) Ultrasound imaging of the right proximal region shows loss of fibrillar pattern and increased thickness of the pectoralis major tendon (arrow) near its insertion on the humerus. (B) The pectoralis major tendon (arrowhead) on the unaffected side has normal thickness and fibrillar pattern. CRB, coracobrachialis muscle; DEL, deltoid muscle; GT, greater tubercle; LHB, long head of the biceps muscle; SHB, short head of the biceps muscle; TM, teres major muscle; PMA, pectoralis major muscle.
