Calcific deposits in the soft tissues are commonly associated with pain in the shoulder. In acute calcific tendinitis and bursitis, the pain can be excruciating and is generally not difficult to diagnose and treat. On the other hand, shoulder pain associated with chronic calcification can be a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. Treatment should be dictated by the location, temporal phase of the calcification, and the clinical picture.
