Elastofibroma is a rare benign tumor typically found in elderly women. This report details a case of bilateral infrascapular elastofibromas in a 44-year-old man.

Area of Science:

  • Pathology
  • Oncology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Elastofibroma is a rare, benign pseudotumor.
  • It is characterized by fibrous tissue proliferation with elastin and adipose tissue.
  • Typically occurs in the infrascapular region of elderly women.

Observation:

  • A 44-year-old male patient presented with bilateral infrascapular masses.
  • Imaging and subsequent analysis confirmed the presence of elastofibromas.

Findings:

  • The patient's condition represents an atypical presentation of elastofibroma.
  • Bilateral infrascapular elastofibromas were diagnosed in a middle-aged male.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known demographic and presentation of elastofibromas.

  • Highlights the importance of considering elastofibroma in differential diagnoses for infrascapular masses, regardless of patient age or sex.
  • Suggests further investigation into potential contributing factors for extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma in younger individuals.
