    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pathology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare, benign, slow-growing soft tissue tumor.
    • Typically occurs in the subscapular region, often bilateral.

    Observation:

    • A single patient case from southern Africa is presented.
    • Clinical and pathological features of the elastofibroma dorsi are detailed.

    Findings:

    • This represents the first documented case of elastofibroma dorsi in southern Africa.
    • Confirms the occurrence of elastofibroma dorsi in diverse geographical locations.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the need for regional awareness and reporting of rare tumors.
    • Contributes to the global understanding of elastofibroma dorsi epidemiology.
