Key Clinical Message: Sudden onset bulging of the upper arm may indicate biceps tendon rupture.
Abstract: We describe a 72-year-old man with Popeye's sign. The patient experienced a sudden shock in his right humerus while mowing grass with his right arm using wide sweeps of a scythe. His right upper arm had an obvious bulging appearance after 3 days, indicating a rupture of the biceps tendon.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates factors leading to the development of Popeye's deformity, a common complication (13%-70% incidence) after long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) tenotomy, to improve patient selection for surgery.
- 91 patients undergoing rotator cuff repairs and LHBT tenotomy were analyzed based on demographics, physical attributes, and postoperative satisfaction through various pain and shoulder function scores at 6 and 24 months post-operation.
- Results showed a 58.9% incidence of Popeye's sign, with lower body mass index (BMI) and higher biceps to wrist circumference ratios linked to deformity, but it did not impact overall clinical outcomes or patient satisfaction after 24 months.

Transthyretin (ATTR) cardiac amyloidosis has recently received increased attention; however, the diagnosis is often delayed. We present a case of ATTR cardiac amyloidosis in which a comprehensive history-taking and focused physical examination played an important role in establishing the diagnosis. A 75-year-old man was referred to the cardiology department for left ventricular hypertrophy on electrocardiography.
