Bubbly scapula: Many possibilities for findings from benign (cysts) to malignant tumor, bone diseases, infections, metabolic and blood diseases. The main focus, aside from treating the cause, if found, would be functional recovery as losing function in an upper extremity will result in significant quality of life decline.
