Radiologic Diagnosis of Elastofibroma Dorsi
Abstract
Elastofibroma dorsi is a benign soft-tissue tumor with typical localization in subscapular area. It belongs to the category of rare tumors and doesn’t reveal itself clinically in most cases. The tumor of various sizes with an asymptomatic course can be recognized in 2% of the examined patients for various pathology of a thorax on CT. Elastofibroma patterns on CT- and MR-tomograms are rather specific and they often allow to make the right diagnosis and to choose the treatment of a patient even without histological verification of tumor.
