Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare chest wall soft-tissue pseudotumor. Surgical excision is effective, with no recurrence or shoulder issues observed in treated patients.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Soft-tissue tumors of the chest wall present diagnostic challenges.
  • Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare pseudotumor requiring specific identification to avoid misdiagnosis.
  • Distinguishing benign from malignant chest wall lesions is crucial for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the unique characteristics of elastofibroma dorsi.
  • To aid in the accurate diagnosis of this rare chest wall lesion.
  • To differentiate elastofibroma dorsi from malignant soft-tissue tumors.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of nine patients treated for elastofibroma dorsi between 1987 and 1997.
  • Surgical excision of all identified elastofibroma dorsi lesions.

  • Clinical evaluation for local recurrence and shoulder function post-excision.

    • Main Results:

    • Nine cases of elastofibroma dorsi were treated.
    • Six lesions were unilateral, and three were bilateral.
    • All excised lesions showed no local recurrence, and patients had no shoulder disability.

    Conclusions:

    • Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare, slow-growing soft-tissue pseudotumor of the chest wall.
    • It possesses distinctive radiographic and histologic features.
    • Surgical management is curative with excellent long-term outcomes.
