Scapulothoracic bursitis, a rare lesion of the thoracic wall, usually presents as a cystic mass growing at the scapulothoracic interface. Histopathologically, it is characterized by the presence of synovial cells lining the interior of the thickened fibrotic cystic wall and capillary proliferation. A 48-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with a complaint of swelling in the back. The magnetic resonance imaging of the lung and mediastinum showed a 43 mm × 130 mm axial lesion in the left infrascapular area between the external muscles and the serratus anterior muscle, hyperintense on T2 sequence, not suppressed on fat-suppressed sequences, with a peripheral minimally contrasted septated collection area. The patient underwent surgical total excision and was discharged on the second postoperative day with no morbidity. Histopathology of the tissue was reported as soft tissue compatible with an inflamed cyst wall with prominent fibroblastic proliferation. Scapulothoracic bursitis lesions can be treated with non-invasive or minimally invasive methods. However, when it becomes a giant lesion occupying space on the thoracic wall and has hemorrhagic content, surgical excision is the treatment of choice.

İnfraserratus bursit klinikte nadir görülen ve ihmal edilen bir patolojidir. Skapular kinematiğin değişmesi, skapulotorasik eklem çevresi çevresindeki kasların kuvvetsizliği bu patolojiye zemin hazırlamaktadır. İnfraserratus bursit nedeniyle skapula alt ucunda ağrı şikayeti olan 49 yaşında kadın hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Omuz normal eklem hareket açıklığı, ağrı şiddeti, omuz internal ve eksternal izokinetik kuvveti ve aktif eklem pozisyon hissi değerlendirildi. Skapular kinematiği düzeltmek amacıyla 6 hafta manuel terapi ve 6 ay ev egzersizlerinden oluşan bir program uygulandı. Skapula ve omuz çevresindeki ağrı azaldı, kassa l kuvvet ve aktif eklem pozisyon hissi tedaviden sonra gelişti. İnfraserratus bursitte semptomlara yönelik, manuel terapi ile skapulotorasik ve glenohumeral eklem çevresindeki kasların kuvvetlendirilmesini içeren bir fizyoterapi ve rehabilitasyon programı uygulanmalıdır.
