Elastofibroma dorsi, a rare slow-growing benign tumor, typically affects older individuals in the subscapular area. This case highlights its presentation and diagnostic considerations in the dermatological field.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare, benign soft-tissue tumor characterized by slow growth.
  • It commonly presents in the subscapular region, particularly in older individuals.

Observation:

  • A case of a 56-year-old Japanese man with a 50 x 70 mm left subscapular elastofibroma dorsi is presented.
  • The tumor exhibited clinical and histological characteristics consistent with previously reported cases.

Findings:

  • The elastofibroma dorsi mass was solid and ill-defined, with slow-growing properties.
  • Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis, showing features typical of this rare entity.

Implications:

  • Elastofibroma dorsi, though rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of subscapular masses in elderly patients.
