Two chest wall elastofibroma cases highlight diagnostic challenges. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging aids in identifying these subscapular masses, improving differential diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Elastofibroma is a rare, benign soft tissue tumor.
  • Typically found in the subscapular region, often associated with the chest wall.
  • Differential diagnosis can be challenging due to its variable appearance.

Observation:

  • Two cases of chest wall elastofibroma are presented.
  • Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging were utilized for investigation.
  • One case specifically details the contribution of MR imaging.

Findings:

  • Elastofibroma presents as a mass in the subscapular area.
  • CT imaging provides initial characterization of the mass.
  • MR imaging offers enhanced visualization and aids in differentiating elastofibroma from other soft tissue tumors.

Implications:

  • Accurate diagnosis of elastofibroma is crucial to avoid unnecessary interventions.
  • Advanced imaging techniques like MR imaging improve diagnostic confidence.
  • Understanding the imaging features of elastofibroma aids radiologists and clinicians.
