Abstract
Defect in scapula is a rare presentation. Congenital malformations of the scapula, ranging from complete
absence, to abnormal shape and position (Sprengel anomaly) are encountered. In this study we report one such case with
a defect in scapular body. The borders or margins were regular. A 26 yrs old male presented to us with history of trauma
to left shoulder 1 yr back. On X-ray defect in the body of scapula was found. The patient was further investigated on the
basis of which we had differentials in our mind such as congenital defect, pseudolesion, tumor, traumatic defect. These
were further ruled out on the basis of aetiopathogenesis, investigations, clinical and radiographic assessment. This is a
rare finding. On the basis of investigations, clinical picture and radiological assessment, we concluded that the defect
found may be traumatic. At the same time congenital defect or normal variation of scapula should also be considered.
