ÖZETElli iki yaşında kadın olgu sol skapula alt uçta kitle şişlik yakınması ile kliniğe başvurdu. Yapılan tetkiklerinde elastofibromadorsi saptanan olgunun kitlesi eksize edildi. Bu çalışmada nadir görülen elastofibroma dorsi patolojisi bir olgu ile sunulmuştur.Anahtar Kelimeler: Elastofibroma, göğüs duvarı, benign tümör SUMMARY A fifty two years old female presented to the clinic presenting with a mass in the lower end of her left scapula. The mass proved to be elastofibroma dorsi and was excised. Due to its rarity, the pathology of elastofibroma dorsi has been presented with this case.

“…Since it is commonly seen in patients with a history of hard or heavy labor, Jarvi and Saxen (2) claimed that elastofibroma is caused by friction of the scapular apex to the chest wall. According to them, mechanical stress causes hypertrophy and degeneration in elastic tissues.…”

Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare, slow-growing tumor-like process. It is typically found in the soft tissue compartment between the inferior scapula and the chest wall of an elderly person. Although its findings in magnetic resonance images and computed tomography usually allow a prospective diagnosis, recognizing the benign nature of the lesion with histopathological evaluation is important to avoid radical surgery. Its pathogenesis is unknown, but one of the postulated mechanisms is repetitive mechanical trauma around the shoulder girdle. We report a synchronously diagnosed bilateral elastofibroma excised from the back of a 49-year-old woman who had doing aerobic exercise for a long time.

bsbd@balikesir.edu.tr www.bau-sbdergisi.com ÖZET Elastofibroma dorsi, sıklıkla göğüs duvarının subskapular bölgesinde görülen, kapsülsüz olduğu için sınırları iyi ayırt edilemeyen, nadir görülen, fibröz dokudan kaynaklanıp yavaş büyüme eğiliminde olan yumuşak doku tümörüdür. Etyolojisi tam olarak tanımlanamamıştır. Hastaların büyük çoğu asemptomatiktir; semptomatik olgular çoğunlukla omuz hareketleriyle belirginleşen skapula altında şişlik ve sırtta hissedilen rahatsızlık hissi ile başvururlar. Tanıda görüntüleme yöntemlerinden faydalanılır. MRG bulguları tanıda çoğu zaman yeterli olmaktadır. Tanıyı kesinleştirmek için iğne aspirasyonu veya insizyonel biyopsi yapılabilir ancak eksizyonel biyopsi tercih edilmelidir. Tedavisi yakınması olan hastalarda marjinal sınırlarda kitlenin çıkartılmasıdır.Biz bu çalışmamızda; omuz hareketleriyle gelişen rahatsızlık hissi ve skapula altında hissedilen kitle lezyonu şikayetleriyle başvuran 49 yaşında bayan hastada klinik muayene ve görüntüleme yöntemleri ile tanı konulan, cerrahi eksizyon ile tedavi edilen nadir görülen elastofibroma dorsi olgumuzu paylaşmak istedik. Anahtar Kelimeler: Elastofibroma dorsi, subscapularis kitle, ekstratorasik kitle lezyonu SUMMARYElastofibroma dorsi is a slowly growing, rarely seen soft tissue tumor that is originated from fibrous tissue, is frequently observed in the subscapularis region of the chest wall, whose boundaries can not be distinguished because of it's encapsulated. The etiology has not been fully defined. Most of the patients are asymptomatic; symptomatic patients often present with lump under scapula that demonstrates with shoulder movements and discomfort is sensed in the back. İmaging procedures are useful for diagnosis. Most of the time MRI findings are sufficient. Incisional biopsy or needle aspiration can be performed to confirm the diagnosis however excisional biopsy should be preferred. Treatment of the symptomatic patients is to remove the mass with marginal boundaries.In this study we would like to share rarely seen elastofibroma dorsi case that is diagnosed by clinical examination and imaging modalities in 49 years old female patient that is admitted with the sense of discomfort which develops with shoulder movements and feeling of a mass under scapula; is treated by is surgical excision.
