Elastofibroma dorsi, a benign tumor, often occurs in elderly women. Characteristic MRI findings aid in accurate diagnosis, preventing unnecessary surgery for this periscapular lesion.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare, benign fibroproliferative tumor.
  • Its pathogenesis remains largely unknown.
  • It typically affects the periscapular region, particularly in older women.

Observation:

  • Most patients with elastofibroma dorsi are asymptomatic.
  • Lesions often present bilaterally.
  • Characteristic imaging and histological features are observed.

Findings:

  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrates a specific appearance for elastofibroma dorsi.
  • Histological examination reveals typical features of this benign neoplasm.
  • Two cases of bilateral elastofibroma dorsi with characteristic MRI and histological findings are presented.

Implications:

  • Accurate prospective diagnosis of elastofibroma dorsi is achievable through characteristic MRI findings.
  • Recognizing the benign nature of elastofibroma dorsi is crucial to avoid unnecessary surgical intervention.
  • This study highlights the importance of imaging in differentiating elastofibroma dorsi from other periscapular masses.
