    Abstract:
    Elastofibroma dorsi is a benign soft-tissue tumor. Its sub- and pre-scapular location and its appearance on CT and MRI generally lead to the diagnosis. We have analyzed with sonography 6 elastofibromas in 4 patients; the diagnosis was confirmed with CT scan or MRI. Some sonography imaging features supported the diagnosis of elastofibroma dorsi. In all the cases, (1) the tumor occurred typically in a sub- and pre-scapular location, and (2) showed a streaky echostructure (3). A similar symptomatic or asymptomatic mass in the opposite subscapular location is highly suggestive.
