Abstract:
Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare, slow-growing, ill defined soft tissue tumor that's typically found between the inferior scapula and chest wall. The characteristic findings on ultrasonography, MRI and CT usually allow the correct diagnosis and so prevent unnecessary surgical procedure. We experienced a case of bilateral elastofibroma dorsi in an 87-year-old man, and we report on this case along with a review of the literature.
