This is important to consider since cancer in the shoulder can be misdiagnosed as a frozen shoulder ( Demaziere and Wiley, 1991 ; Kim et al , 2011 ). Furthermore, frozen shoulder is one of the differential diagnoses of a paraneoplastic syndrome, and thereby can represent a marker of progression of the underlying malignancy ( Ashour et al , 1997 ).…”
