Elastofibromas are rare, slow-growing tumors typically found in older women, often asymptomatic in the subscapular area. Imaging techniques like MRI and CT scans are key for diagnosing these fibroblastic proliferations.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Elastofibromas are benign fibroblastic proliferations.
  • They predominantly affect elderly women, typically in the subscapular region.
  • Often asymptomatic, their diagnosis relies on characteristic imaging findings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present six cases of elastofibroma dorsi.
  • To review clinical presentation and radiological findings.
  • To compare findings with existing literature.

Main Methods:

  • Case series review.
  • Analysis of clinical data.
  • Radiological imaging review (ultrasonography, CT, MRI).

Main Results:

  • Six cases of elastofibroma dorsi were analyzed.
  • Clinical and radiological features were documented.
  • Findings were consistent with literature descriptions of elastofibromas.

Conclusions:

  • Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare entity with characteristic imaging features.
  • Imaging modalities like ultrasonography, CT, and MRI are crucial for diagnosis.
  • Reviewing clinical and radiological data aids in understanding and diagnosing elastofibromas.
