Welcome to health care magic.
1.The report suggest there is a lytic / hypo-dense lesion seen in the head of the humerus.
2.There are reduced densities noted in the visualised bone - suggest the possibilities of osteoporosis.
3.Osteoporosis is seen in the non usage of the joint for a significant time period.
4.In this case i would recommend to get a contrast CT / MRI to evaluate the nature of the lesion and its extensions to the soft tissue and enhancement.
5.A biopsy will be confirmatory for assessment of the nature of the cells involved in the process.
Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask ? do not hesitate to ask.
