Article Main Content

Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare soft tissues benign tumor with very slow evolution, seen predominantly in females and elderly, It mostly occurs in the infrascapular region, and can be bilateral. The diagnosis is based on clinical presentation and imaging features but pathological study after excision is necessary for confirmation. We present the cases of 3 patients with bilateral elastofibroma dorsi to clarify the clinical features, radiological and therapeutic modalities to improve management, along with a literature review.

Keywords: Benign, elastofibroma, soft tissues, tumor
