A 60-year-old woman has noted recurrent, right elbow pain. The pain occurs mainly with the use of the arm and hand, not with bending the elbow. She has noted no pain or tenderness in other joints. Examination of the right arm shows marked tenderness over the lateral epicondyle. The elbow range of motion is normal, and there is no redness or swelling. Resisted wrist extension exacerbates the elbow pain. Which one of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
(A) Cubital tunnel syndrome
(B) Tennis elbow
(C) Olecranon bursitis
(D) Septic arthritis
(E) Golfer’s elbow
