Elastofibroma dorsi, a soft tissue tumor, was diagnosed in seven patients. Surgical excision provided complete pain relief and no recurrences were observed in this study.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare soft tissue tumor.
  • It typically occurs in the subscapular region.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical and pathological features of elastofibroma dorsi.
  • To evaluate the treatment outcomes for patients with elastofibroma dorsi.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of seven patients diagnosed with elastofibroma dorsi between 1976 and 1986.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed by incisional biopsy and histological examination.
  • Computed tomography was used for imaging.

Main Results:

  • Seven patients (ages 6-79) were diagnosed with elastofibroma dorsi.

  • Five had unilateral subscapular tumors, two had bilateral masses.
  • Four patients experienced pain with arm motion; all had complete pain relief after surgical excision.
  • Histology showed fibrous tissue with fragmented elastic fibers.

    • Conclusions:

    • Elastofibroma dorsi can be effectively treated with local excision, leading to complete symptom resolution and no recurrence.
    • The exact nature of elastofibroma dorsi (neoplasm vs. reactive lesion) remains undetermined.
    • It can mimic other soft tissue tumors like sarcoma and fibromatosis.
