Elastofibroma dorsi, a rare connective tissue pseudotumor, shows a distinct pattern on ultrasound. This imaging can help diagnose elastofibroma dorsi, potentially avoiding biopsies.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare, slow-growing pseudotumor.
  • It typically occurs in the subscapular region.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the sonographic characteristics of elastofibroma dorsi.
  • To evaluate ultrasound's utility in diagnosing this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Sonographic examination of three cases of elastofibroma dorsi.
  • Correlation with pathological findings.

Main Results:

  • Ultrasound reveals interspersed linear or curvilinear hypoechoic strands against an echogenic background.
  • This pattern reflects the underlying fibroelastic and fatty tissue composition.

Conclusions:

  • The characteristic sonographic appearance allows for prospective diagnosis of elastofibroma dorsi.
  • Ultrasound may obviate the need for further imaging and biopsy in the proper clinical context.
