초록

Many anomalous origins of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) have been reported. However, developmental anomalies of the LHBT are rarely encountered in daily practice. We report a patient with an anomalous LHBT that was adherent to and confluent with the rotator cuff throughout its intra-articular course and present the clinical, magnetic resonance arthrography, and arthroscopic findings.
