“…8 In most cases, the lesion is unilateral; however, bilateral involvement is present in approximately 10%. 9,19 Elastofibroma also has been found in extrascapular sites, including the small bowel, tracheobronchial tree, colon, deltoid region, infraolecranon, great trochanter, and foot. 13 The pathogenesis of these lesions remains unknown.…”

“…The lesion is usually unilateral, but the frequency of bilateral occurrence was reported to be between 10-66% (3)(4)(5). The presence of a synchronous, new-growing lesion must almost always be investigated in a patient presented with a unilateral mass, like in our patient.…”

“…The first four cases were described by Jarvi and Saxen (2) in 1961 as tumors originating from elastic tissue. Since then, only a limited number of bilateral synchronous cases have been added to the literature (3)(4)(5).…”

Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare, slow-growing tumor-like process. It is typically found in the soft tissue compartment between the inferior scapula and the chest wall of an elderly person. Although its findings in magnetic resonance images and computed tomography usually allow a prospective diagnosis, recognizing the benign nature of the lesion with histopathological evaluation is important to avoid radical surgery. Its pathogenesis is unknown, but one of the postulated mechanisms is repetitive mechanical trauma around the shoulder girdle. We report a synchronously diagnosed bilateral elastofibroma excised from the back of a 49-year-old woman who had doing aerobic exercise for a long time.

“…3,6,18 As of 2002, there had been no reports of malignant transformation. 22 Various modalities have been used in the evaluation of elastofibroma, and its features on imaging have been described. 7,12,[23][24][25][26] Plain radiographs usually appear normal but may occasionally show elevation of the scapula and a soft tissue mass in the subscapular and periscapular regions.…”

We describe the case of a 78-year-old man with a large elastofibroma deep to his scapula that was inconspicuous on MRI examination with his arm at his side in neutral position. The mass was not detected sonographically until the patient abducted his arm, allowing the elastofibroma to emerge from under the scapula. The diagnosis of elastofibroma was suggested by the typical sonographic appearance of a hypoechoic mass with interspersed linear echogenicity, resembling muscle. The mass was excised, and the diagnosis was confirmed on histopathologic examination.
