“…Patients usually have a history of intense repetitive manual labour [12]. Subsequent to the initial report by Jarvi and Saxen [1], numerous additional sites have been reported, including the small bowel, tracheobronchial tree, colon, omentum, deltoid region, foot, stomach and rectal submucosa, amongst others [4,5,7,[12][13][14]. Most commonly, it presents as a slow growing firm deep-seated mass which is usually painless [12].…”

Elastofibromas of the oral cavity are rare, with only 5 cases reported. In this paper, we present a series of five new cases of oral elastofibromatous lesions, occurring in 4 males and 1 female, with ages ranging from 33 to 76 years. The clinical differential diagnosis includes fibroepithelial polyp or fibroma, among other connective tissue tumours. Elastofibromas probably develop as reactive lesions, for which surgical treatment is definitive.

“…It was first described by Jarvi and Saxen [1], occurring in the subscapular region (elastofibroma dorsi) as a painless non-fixed mass [1][2][3][4]. Mucosal lesions are rare, but have occasionally been reported [5][6][7][8][9].…”

“…Only two stomach cases [16,17] and several colorectal cases [18][19][20] have been reported. Interestingly, some of these lesions were associated with perivascular pseudo-amyloidosis [17,18,20]. Bilateral subscapular elastofibromas were lately found in one gastric case [16].…”

Active neovascularization and possible vascular-centric development of gastric and periscapular elastofibromas

et al. 2009

An elastofibroma is a benign and rare fibrous lesion that most commonly occurs in the periscapular region. A gastrointestinal elastofibroma is extremely rare. In the present study, six cases of elastofibromas including a case in the stomach were evaluated. The gastric case revealed widely distributed lesions in the submucosal layer with perivascular fibrotic lesions (PVFLs) and some PVFLs were distributed to the skip lesions of elastofibroma. These PVFLs were also observed in all five periscapular cases and invariably contained elastic fibers which showed various degree of maturation. CD34-positive stromal cells were observed not only in elastofibromas but also in PVFLs in each case. These findings suggested the possibility of the PVFLs were the primary lesions of elastofibroma and their vascular-centric development. The percentage of the CD105-positive vessels in elastofibroma group was significantly higher than in the control group. This result indicates active neovascularization in elastofibromas.
