This study details two elastofibroma dorsi cases, highlighting characteristic MR imaging patterns. Recognizing these patterns can prevent misdiagnosis as malignant tumors and avoid unnecessary surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare, benign soft tissue tumor often found in the subscapular region.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial to differentiate it from malignant neoplasms, preventing overtreatment.

Observation:

  • Two cases of elastofibroma dorsi are presented.
  • Detailed analysis of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings were performed.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis in both cases.

Findings:

  • Characteristic MR imaging patterns were identified for elastofibroma dorsi.
  • These patterns are distinct and aid in differentiating the benign tumor from malignant lesions.
  • Histopathology correlated with the imaging findings.

Implications:

  • Increased radiologist awareness of specific MR patterns can significantly reduce misdiagnosis.
  • Preventing misclassification as malignant avoids unnecessary aggressive surgical interventions.
  • Improved diagnostic accuracy leads to more conservative and appropriate patient management.
