Fig. 1A. Pseudocyst of humeral head in cadaver of 61-year-old man.
T2-weighted axial (A) and coronal (B) images show
well-circumscribed high signal intensity (arrow) in posterosuperior
portion of humeral head. There was no evidence of degenerative change or
rotator cuff tear (not shown).

Fig. 1C. Pseudocyst of humeral head in cadaver of 61-year-old man.
Photomicrograph of pseudocyst in undecalcified bone section shows dense
collagenous wall without definite epithelial lining cells. Cortical defect
(arrow) connects with joint space. No hemorrhage or hemosiderin-laden
macrophages are evident. (H and E; original magnification, x12.5)

Fig. 2. Photomicrograph of pseudocyst in undecalcified bone section
of humeral head in cadaver of 60-year-old man. Lobulated cystic structure is
shown. Articular cartilage (C) adjacent to pseudocyst has normal appearance
and smoothly fades out at opening of pseudocyst and trabecular bone
surrounding pseudocyst. Adjacent cortex and surrounding trabeculae of
pseudocyst show normal appearance without degenerative change or other
abnormalities. (H and E; original magnification, x12.5)
