    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Pathology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare, benign, tumor-like lesion typically occurring in the subscapular region.
    • It predominantly affects middle-aged to elderly individuals, often presenting bilaterally.

    Observation:

    • A 60-year-old woman presented with bilateral subscapular masses.
    • Clinical examination revealed palpable masses in the subscapular areas.
    • Imaging studies, including MRI, demonstrated features consistent with elastofibroma dorsi.

    Findings:

    • Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of elastofibroma dorsi, characterized by abnormal proliferation of mature elastic fibers and fibroblastic cells.
    • The bilateral nature of the lesion was a notable pathological feature.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering elastofibroma dorsi in the differential diagnosis of subscapular masses.
    • Understanding the clinical and pathological features is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management of this rare condition.
