“…If all pathognomonic criteria (age, localization, and snapping sound) are present, the lesion can be confidentially diagnosed with at least one radiological examination, preferably MRI (7,8,14). It has been shown that the diagnostic value of radiological imaging for ED is high and biopsy is not necessary for clinically and radiologically typical cases (1,7,17,18). Since we preferred MRI for diagnostic purposes, we performed a biopsy for only one patient; two patients admitted to our clinic had biopsies performed at another hospital previously.…”

“…While some researchers have stated that complications such as postoperative seroma or hematoma are more common in cases with large resected tumor masses (7,10,17,19), some have reported no differences (4). No significant complications were reported after the marginal excision of masses with a mean size of 9.6 cm (18). It is known that postoperative complications are more common in elderly patients and those with comorbidities (11).…”

“…Aspiration drainage (12,18,19), compressive bandages (7,9), and shoulder immobilization (5,10,12) are recommended to prevent postoperative seroma/ hematoma formation. There is no consensus in the literature regarding the ideal time to drain removal (5,9), postoperative shoulder immobilization (5,10), or the duration of postoperative follow-up (1,4,5).…”

Aim: Elastofibroma dorsi (ED) is an uncommon benign connective-tissue tumor, usually seen in the subscapular region of women after the fifth decade. We present the clinical features, management, and long-term outcomes of cases of ED treated surgically in a single institution. Material and Method: The data of 31 patients (7 male, 24 female) with a histopathological diagnosis of ED between January 2010 and January 2021 and mean age of 56.6 years were reviewed retrospectively from their records. The mean follow-up duration was 80.2 (19-144) months. Nine cases were bilateral. Marginal resection surgery was performed in all cases diagnosed radiologically and clinically, and preoperative biopsies were performed for three patients. The results were evaluated using a visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain during follow-up. Results: Complications such as chronic pain (n=5), hematoma (n=5), seroma (n=5), and infection (n=2) were seen in 11 patients (35%) in the early postoperative period and improved over the course of follow-up. A local recurrence observed in one patient during follow-up was re-excised. Significantly more complications were observed in patients with bilateral ED (p=0.015), manual laborers and heavy laborers (p=0.013), patients with comorbidities (p=0.006), those who slept in the supine position (p=0.031), and those who underwent synchronized surgery (p=0.013). In addition, statistically significantly more complications were observed in cases of masses with longer longitudinal length (p=0.016), patients with longer preoperative symptom duration (p=0.009), and longer operative times (p=0.025). The average VAS score improved significantly from 4.97 to 1.52 after surgery (p

“…5 However, it has been reported that microtrauma, genetic factors, gender, fibroelastic tissue changes and age may play a role in the etiology. 6, 7 Although the fact that ED is more common in people who do heavy work, especially using their hands, supports this view, ED can also be seen in people who have not worked in heavy-duty jobs throughout their lives and in different settlements. 8 Due to its rarity, the diagnosis and treatment algorithm is unclear.…”

Aim: Elastofibroma dorsi (ED) is a benign pseudotumor detected by CT and/or MRI due to the penetration of fibrous and fatty tissues between the muscle structures and is more common in elderly people, especially in women, with subscapular topography. This study investigated the prevalence of elastofibroma dorsi in large series and CT findings. Material and Methods: A total of 469 patients (212 women, 257 men) who underwent thoracic CT for various reasons were included in this study. The presence, dimensions, contour and density of ED were investigated in these patients. Results: The mean age of 469 patients was 54.51±17.42 (18-88 years). Elastofibroma was detected in 15.4% (n=72) of these patients. It was determined that 69.9% (n=51) of the patients with ED were female, and the mean age of these patients was 63.21±15.72. ED was usually isodense in both sexes. Again, in both sexes, ED was more regularly contoured, and the fat planes between adjacent muscle structures were usually closed. Conclusion: Additional studies are not required when the lesion is typical and asymptomatic on CT scans. However, surgical treatment may be recommended if the lesion is symptomatic or if doubt remains regarding the benign nature of the lesion.
