A liquid along the tendon (most frequently at exudative
tenovaginitis of the long head of the biceps) manifests with a hypoechogenic
focus in the area of the long head of the biceps. With regarding to
two-dimensional visualization in the longitudinal section, it is mostly
manifested as a triangular focus adjacent to the humerus.

At our patients we often meet a bigger amount of the exudate which encloses completely the tendon of the long head of the biceps.
