Little League Shoulder is a syndrome involving the proximal humeral epiphyseal plate. It is characterized by pain when pitching and is associated with specific changes. An 11-year-old male of little league shoulder was reported. He got a pain in the right shoulder when throwing a baseball. X-ray films of right shoulder showed a marked uniform widening of the proximal epiphysis of the humerus without fragmentation or significant osteoporosis adjacent to the epiphyseal plate area. The patient was seen 1 month later at follow-up and he denied having any pain in his right shoulder. An X-ray film of the right shoulder after 3 months showed healing of epiphysis.
