“…The incidence of ED in the general population has not been determined; however, Brandser et al (10) reported in their computed tomography (CT) study that ED was found in 2% of asymptomatic adults aged >60 years. The results of that study were based on asymptomatic cases; therefore, the actual prevalence of a symptomatic or palpable ED mass is estimated to be <2%.…”

Abstract. Elastofibroma dorsi (ED) is a tumor that develops in the space between the lower angle of the scapula and the posterior thoracic wall. Due to the rarity of this type of tumor, the number of reported consecutive series is limited. Surgical excision, usually recommended for symptomatic cases to confirm diagnosis and relieve symptoms, has been associated with a high complication rate. To analyze the clinical characteristics and outcomes of surgical treatment, we retrospectively reviewed 20 consecutive cases of surgically resected ED. Of the 20 patients, 14 (70%) exhibited preoperative symptoms associated with the tumor. The mean diameter of the resected tumors averaged 72 mm (range, 45-110 mm). The surgical outcomes were satisfactory, except for the development of hematoma or seroma in 9 cases (43%), 8 of which achieved a complete resolution with conservative treatment. Age, hypertension, the presence of preoperative tumor-related symptoms and intraoperative bleeding were not found to be significantly associated with the incidence of hematoma. However, tumor diameter and the duration of postoperative drainage were significantly associated with occurrence of hematoma (P= 0.02 and P= 0.01, respectively). Surgical resection should only be recommended for symptomatic patients, due to the high incidence of postoperative complications. To prevent the development of postoperative hematoma or seroma, careful observation of the wound, with suction drainage for >7 days and additional surgical procedures to facilitate adhesion of the wound margins, are recommended.

“…Brandser et al found its incidence in normal population to be 2% in the CT screenings. 4 The rates of elastofibroma seen in the autopsy series were 11.2% in males and 24.4% in females older than 55 years. 5 The majority of the patients were housewives in the present series and 37.2% of the cases showed bilateral ED but only 19.6% of the cases underwent resection.…”

“…The tumor is more prevalent in females aged over 50 5 . Brandser et al 6 reported the tumor prevalance as 2% in individuals aged over 60, and as 24%in female autopsies and as 11% in male autopsies. Our case was a 52 years old female patient who had elastofibroma removed from under her right scapula one year ago and had the same kind of tumor removed from under the left scapula in our clinic.…”
