We report the case of a 51‐year‐old woman who experienced pain and swelling in the right forearm after spinning cotton. History taking and physical examinations helped identify a tear of the supinator muscle, which was confirmed via sonographic examination. To our knowledge, this article is the first report of a supinator muscle tear diagnosed with sonography. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2008
