Bilateral Elastofibroma Dorsi

Abstract

1.1. Introduction: Elastofibroma dorsi (ED) is a benign, uncommon tumor, which appears in the subscapular and infrascapular region. Etiology is still under discussion. Total surgical excision is the optional treatment for symptomatic EFD. 1.2. Presentation of Case: A 48-year-old male patient presented with 2 years’ complaint of shoulder pain and paresthesia, mostly aggravated with shoulder movements and infrascapular swelling bilaterally. Both masses were totally excised with bilateral posterolateral subscapular incision. Symptoms and significant discomfort from the surgical procedure was completely resolved within a few weeks’ interval from the operation. 1.3. Discussion: it is a rare tumor, and its etiology suspected to be due to repetitive trauma and still under question, image is the best method to diagnose it. 1.4. Conclusion: EFD is a benign soft tissue tumor, placed at infrascapular region, treated with total simple excision, biopsy is not needed
