“…The tumor's characteristic location (periscapular region) and specific imaging appearance on sonography, CT, and MRI facilitates an accurate diagnosis. 6,14 In this case, the MRI findings were typical of elastofibroma.…”

“…Based on these data, there are generally case reports and review studies on ED in the literature. The most important assessment for elastofibroma dorsi is undoubtedly CT, as Alouni et al 21 suggested. CT reveals characteristic findings that may lead to a presumptive diagnosis of elastofibroma.…”

“…The absence of bone structures in ED masses is one of the characteristic features of ED. 21 Tumors can often be distinguished by weak differentiation from the margins of the surrounding muscles on CT and give the impression of being part of the intercostal muscles. 31 Radouane et al 32 reported that the borders of elastofibromas are clearly and distinctly visible on CT. 32 Our results determined that elastofibroma was seen as isodense in 53.4% of the patients, regular contour in 87.7% and enclosed fat plane in 83.6%.…”

Aim: Elastofibroma dorsi (ED) is a benign pseudotumor detected by CT and/or MRI due to the penetration of fibrous and fatty tissues between the muscle structures and is more common in elderly people, especially in women, with subscapular topography. This study investigated the prevalence of elastofibroma dorsi in large series and CT findings. Material and Methods: A total of 469 patients (212 women, 257 men) who underwent thoracic CT for various reasons were included in this study. The presence, dimensions, contour and density of ED were investigated in these patients. Results: The mean age of 469 patients was 54.51±17.42 (18-88 years). Elastofibroma was detected in 15.4% (n=72) of these patients. It was determined that 69.9% (n=51) of the patients with ED were female, and the mean age of these patients was 63.21±15.72. ED was usually isodense in both sexes. Again, in both sexes, ED was more regularly contoured, and the fat planes between adjacent muscle structures were usually closed. Conclusion: Additional studies are not required when the lesion is typical and asymptomatic on CT scans. However, surgical treatment may be recommended if the lesion is symptomatic or if doubt remains regarding the benign nature of the lesion.

“…Several papers in the recent literature indicate that imaging studies should be enough if the lesion is unilateral or asymmetrical, painful, with hard consistency, and rapidly progressing in volume [23][24][25]. Development of a tumoral mass in that specific region can include a number of differential diagnosis such as: Hemangioma, neurofibroma, malignant histiocytoma, lipoma [7,26,27], and requires an MRI with gadolinium contrast, thus the malignant tumors can be differentiated [23][24][25].…”

Elastofibroma Dorsi, a Rare Condition, with Challenging Diagnosis. Case Report and Literature Review

et al. 2021

Elastofibroma dorsi (ED) is known as a particular clinical and biological entity. We report a case of a bilateral elastofibroma dorsi (ED) in a 65-year-old female who presented to the Department of General and Oncologic Surgery of Emergency Clinical Municipal Hospital Timisoara, Romania. The patient was symptomatic on the right side, presenting pain in the interscapulothoracic region associated with a variable tumoral mass, dependent on the position of the right arm. Imaging studies revealed a well-defined, bilateral tumoral mass with alternation of the muscular and fatty tissue. The initial diagnosis of lipoma was taken into consideration based on the CT scan and clinical findings. Surgical excision of the right subscapular tumor was performed without any postoperative complications. Microscopic examination of hematoxylin and eosin, Masson’s trichrome, and orcein stained slides revealed the diagnosis of ED. Considering the high rate of reported postoperative complications and the asymptomatic presentation of the contralateral subscapular mass, the patient underwent clinical and imagistic monitoring for the contralateral tumor. Due to its rare nature, ED is a difficult preoperative diagnosis that can, however, be suggested by its specific location and may require an accurate histopathological examination for a final diagnosis.
