Magnetic Resonance (MR) and Computed Tomography (CT) imaging reveal characteristic features of elastofibroma, a benign fibrous tumor. These imaging findings, reflecting entrapped fat, aid in presumptive diagnosis, especially in older patients with subscapular lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Elastofibroma is a rare, benign soft-tissue tumor.
  • It typically occurs in older individuals, often in the subscapular region.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the characteristic appearances of elastofibroma on MR and CT imaging.
  • To correlate imaging findings with histopathologic features.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of MR and CT findings in five elastofibroma cases.
  • Comparison with demographic data from 72 additional histologically confirmed cases.

Main Results:

  • MR imaging showed lesions isointense with muscle, with fat-like signal intensity areas.
  • CT revealed variable margins and attenuation similar to soft tissue, with some fat-containing areas.

  • Enhancement patterns on MR varied, with some areas showing enhancement.

    • Conclusions:

    • MR and CT features of elastofibroma differ from other soft-tissue tumors.
    • Imaging findings suggest entrapped fat within a fibrous mass.
    • Subscapular location in older patients raises suspicion for elastofibroma.
