“…21 Tumors can often be distinguished by weak differentiation from the margins of the surrounding muscles on CT and give the impression of being part of the intercostal muscles. 31 Radouane et al 32 reported that the borders of elastofibromas are clearly and distinctly visible on CT. 32 Our results determined that elastofibroma was seen as isodense in 53.4% of the patients, regular contour in 87.7% and enclosed fat plane in 83.6%. There was no statistically significant difference between the radiological appearances of ED in male or females.…”

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.

“…1). (17,19,20) MRI is the noninvasive gold standard modality to discriminate ED from lipoma, liposarcoma, sarcoma, hemangioma, hematoma, etc. MRI shows a heterogenous well-de ned and oblong mass which shows both intermediate intensity similar to attenuation of muscle, and also low intensity of surrounding adipose tissue.…”

Background: Elastofibromadorsi is an uncommon benign pseudotumor. We aimed to assess its demographic, clinical and radiological features. Materials and methods: We retrospectively re-evaluated all thoracic CT scans and MRI's of Babak imaging center to identify cases of elastofibromadorsi. Such variables as age, gender, weight, height, body mass index, handedness, and symptoms were extracted from their medical records. Hounsfield numbers and mass laterality were determined by three radiologists. Also, suspicious patients were asked to undergo punch biopsies. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. Results: Prevalence rate of elastofibroma dorsi was 1.2%, after reviewing 10,056 imaging records. Most patients (69%) were women (p<0.05). Mean age±SD was 62.7±2.3 (range: 28-72) with the highest frequency in the middle age (p<0.05). Majority of cases were unilateral (77.5%), commonly on the right side (95% of unilateral lesions). Eighty-eight percent of right- vs. 71% of left-handed individuals had the mass ipsilateral to their dominant side (p<0.05). About 2/3 of patients were asymptomatic. Mean±SD Hounsfield unit of the masses was 33±4.1 (range:19-48), while for the adjacent muscle, Hounsfield unit it was 46±3.7 (range:35-55). All taken biopsies confirmed the diagnosis of elastofibromadorsi. Conclusion:Most cases were found unilaterally on the right side of middle-aged women.
