  • Title: Intra-articular elastofibroma of the shoulder joint.
    Author: Bae SJ, Shin MJ, Kim SM, Cho KJ.
    Journal: Skeletal Radiol; 2002 Mar; 31(3):171-4. PubMed ID: 11935203.
    Abstract:
    A 19-year-old man presented with an elastofibroma in his left shoulder joint. The patient had had limitation of motion in his left arm for 3 years, especially when rotating internally. Radiography of his left shoulder showed bone erosion in the neck of the humerus. On MR imaging, a soft tissue mass was noted in the shoulder joint eroding bone. The mass showed similar signal intensity to that of surrounding muscles on T1- and T2-weighted images. At surgery, a soft, encapsulated mass was found attached to the subscapularis muscle. It was pathologically confirmed as an elastofibroma. This unusual manifestation of an elastofibroma is discussed.
