A rare benign soft tissue tumor; elastofibroma dorsi

Abstract

Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare benign tumor which arises from fibrous tissue. Usually it is located under the bottom corner of scapula and attached to the periost of thorax wall. It may not lead to clinical complain in 50% of patients. Most of the time it is presented with swelling, back pain, shoulder pain and sound of sliding on back. The lesion is usually more common in women over the age of 55, as well as single-sided involvement is present in 90% of cases. MRI is the most important radiological evaluation method in the diagnosis of elastofibroma dorsi. Treatment of elastofibroma dorsi is total removal of the mass

NADİR GÖRÜLEN BİR BENİGN YUMUŞAK DOKU TÜMÖRÜ; ELASTOFİBROMA DORSİ

Abstract

Elastofibroma dorsi, fibröz dokudan kaynaklanan nadir bir benign yumuşak doku tümörüdür. Tümör genellikle skapulanın alt köşesinde toraks duvarının periostuna yapışık halde bulunur. Hastaların % 50 sinde klinik yakınmaya yol açmayabilir. Tümör genel olarak şişlik, sırt ve omuz ağrısı, sırtta atlama sesi gibi yakınmalara yol acar. Lezyonun genellikle 55 yaşın üzerinde ve kadınlarda daha sık görülür, ayrıca olguların %90 ında tek taraflı tutulum vardır. Elastofibroma dorsinin tanısında en önemli radyolojik değerlendirme yöntemi MRI’dır. Elastofibroma dorside tedavi kitlenin total olarak çıkarılmasıdır.
