Elastin is Responsible for Tissue Elasticity01:12

Elastin is Responsible for Tissue Elasticity

Elastic fiber contains the protein elastin along with lesser amounts of other proteins and glycoproteins. The main property of elastin is that it will return to its original shape after being stretched or compressed. Elastic fibers are prominent in elastic tissues found in skin and the elastic ligaments of the vertebral column.
Ligaments and tendons are made of dense regular connective tissue, but in ligaments not all fibers are parallel. Dense regular elastic tissue contains elastin fibers and...

Elastofibroma dorsi, a rare periscapular lesion, can be diagnosed using clinical and ultrasound findings, especially when bilateral. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the diagnosis in this case.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare, benign pseudotumoral lesion.
  • It typically occurs in the periscapular region.
  • Bilateral presentation is uncommon but diagnostically significant.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of bilateral elastofibroma dorsi.
  • To highlight the diagnostic utility of ultrasound and MRI in such cases.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical examination.
  • Ultrasound (US) evaluation of lesion characteristics.
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for confirmation.

Main Results:

  • Ultrasound effectively assessed dimensions, margins, and internal structure.

Published on: April 18, 2015

  • Bilateral elastofibroma dorsi was diagnosed based on clinical and sonographic findings.
  • MRI provided definitive confirmation of the diagnosis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Ultrasound is a valuable tool for diagnosing elastofibroma dorsi.
    • In bilateral cases, clinical and sonographic findings can lead to diagnosis.
    • MRI serves as a confirmatory imaging modality.
