Elastofibromas are rare benign tumors typically found under the shoulder blade. Imaging can diagnose these lesions, preventing unnecessary surgery for soft tissue masses.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Elastofibromas (EFD) are rare benign soft tissue tumors.
  • They predominantly occur in elderly women, often located deep to the serratus anterior muscle near the scapula.

Observation:

  • A 55-year-old woman presented with chronic pain from an infrascapular mass.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed bilateral subescapular tumor masses consistent with elastofibroma.

Findings:

  • Elastofibromas exhibit characteristic imaging features allowing for diagnosis.
  • Their distinct location and clinical presentation aid in differentiating them from malignant tumors.

Implications:

  • Awareness of elastofibromas is crucial for accurate diagnosis and to avoid misclassification as malignant soft tissue tumors.
