  • Title: Elastofibroma presenting as an oral soft tissue mass.
    Author: Manchandu R, Foote J, Alawi F.
    Journal: J Oral Pathol Med; 2008 Feb; 37(2):125-6. PubMed ID: 18197858.
    Abstract:
    Elastofibroma (EF) is a rare soft tissue lesion that most commonly develops in the subscapular region. To date, there has been only one documented example of oral EF; presenting as a painless nodule in the floor of the mouth of a middle-aged female. Described herein, we report a male patient who developed EF in the floor of the mouth; in his case, also presenting as an asymptomatic nodular growth. Acute onset and a history of regional surgery and radiation therapy suggest a reactive etiology.
