Elastofibroma dorsi, a rare tumor, can present as bilateral masses. This case highlights the importance of considering asynchronous lesions and their growth rates in diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare, benign soft tissue tumor.
  • It typically occurs in the subscapular region.

Observation:

  • A 48-year-old woman presented with bilateral subscapular tumor masses.
  • Lesions were diagnosed asynchronously over 4 months, with one initially overlooked.

Findings:

  • Surgical resection confirmed the masses as elastofibroma.
  • Re-evaluation revealed an omitted lesion with a 2-cm diameter and a 25.2-day doubling time.

Implications:

  • Bilateral elastofibroma may present asynchronously with varying sizes.
  • Short doubling times warrant clinical attention despite the tumor's benign nature.
