  • Title: Elastofibroma dorsi.
    Author: Ohtake N, Setoyama M, Kanzaki T.
    Journal: Dermatology; 1998; 197(1):74-7. PubMed ID: 9693194.
    Abstract:
    Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare benign soft-tissue tumor which is solid, ill-defined and marked by slow growth. It is usually found in the subscapular region of older individuals. We report here the case of a 56-year-old Japanese man with elastofibroma dorsi which was located in the left subscapular region and measured 50 x 70 mm in size. The mass was very similar to tumors previously reported, both clinically and histologically. This entity has only rarely been described in the dermatological literature, but it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of subscapular complaints elderly patients.
