Elastofibroma dorsi (EF) is a rare benign tumor found between the scapula and chest wall. This summary discusses two cases, covering causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of this connective tissue tumor.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Pathology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Elastofibroma dorsi (EF) is an uncommon benign tumor originating from connective tissue.
  • It characteristically presents as a slow-growing mass in the subscapular region, often bilateral.
  • EF is typically found in middle-aged to elderly individuals, with a higher prevalence in women.

Observation:

  • This report details two distinct cases of elastofibroma dorsi.
  • The cases highlight the typical clinical presentation and diagnostic challenges associated with EF.
  • Imaging studies and biopsy are crucial for accurate diagnosis.

Findings:

  • Etiology of EF remains unclear, though repetitive mechanical stress is implicated.
  • Symptoms are often minimal, including a palpable mass and occasional discomfort.

  • Histopathological examination confirms the diagnosis, showing characteristic elastic and collagenous tissue.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of EF is essential to differentiate it from malignant neoplasms.
    • Surgical excision is the primary treatment for symptomatic or enlarging EF.
    • Understanding the benign nature and typical location of EF aids in appropriate patient management and surgical planning.
