A case of bilateral elastofibroma dorsi

Abstract

Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare soft tissue tumor. Friction of scapula to chest wall excessively in manuel laborers or genetic factors may be responsible for consist of elastofibroma dorsi. Thorax computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are most frequent used imaging methods in diagnosis of elastofibroma dorsi. Surgical excision is a good treatment opsion for cases with symptomatic.

Bilateral elastofibroma dorsi olgusu

Abstract

Elastofibroma dorsi nadir görülen bir yumuşak doku tümörüdür. Oluşumunda kol gücüyle çalışan insanlarda skapulanın toraks duvarına aşırı sürtünmesi veya genetik faktörler sorumlu tutulur. Tanısında toraks bilgisayarlı tomografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme en sık kullanılan görüntüleme yöntemleridir. Semptomatik olgularda cerrahi eksizyon iyi bir tedavi seçeneğidir.
