Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare, slow-growing benign tumor. Characteristic imaging on sonography, CT, and MRI allows for accurate diagnosis, avoiding unnecessary procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare, benign fibro-proliferative lesion.
  • Its pathogenesis remains unknown.
  • It typically occurs in the periscapular region.

Observation:

  • This study presents three cases of elastofibroma dorsi.
  • Characteristic imaging features on sonography, CT, and MRI were observed.
  • Bilateral involvement was noted in two of the cases.

Findings:

  • Elastofibroma dorsi exhibits a specific appearance on imaging modalities.
  • Accurate prospective diagnosis is achievable through sonography, CT, and MRI.
  • The lesion is benign and slow-growing.

Implications:

  • Recognizing elastofibroma dorsi on imaging can prevent unnecessary biopsies and surgical interventions.
  • This highlights the importance of characteristic imaging findings in diagnosing rare soft tissue tumors.
  • Accurate diagnosis aids in appropriate patient management and reduces healthcare costs.
