Abstract

Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare soft tissue tumor. In people who work with arm power, excessive rubbing of the scapula to the chest wall or genetic factors is held responsible for its formation. Thoracic computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the most commonly used imaging modalities for diagnose of elastofibroma dorsi. MRI and CT imaging can distinguish elastofibroma dorsi with the support of clinical findings. It is necessary to avoid unnecessary interventional procedures in asymptomatic elderly patients who are thought to be elastofibroma dorsi and only follow-up is sufficient in these cases. This article aimed to present MRI findings of a 61-year-old male patient suffering from elastofibroma dorsi with literature review.

Özet

Elastofibroma dorsi, nadir görülen yumuşak bir doku tümörüdür. Kol gücü ile çalışan insanlarda, skapulanın göğüs duvarına aşırı ovulması veya genetik faktörler oluşumundan sorumlu tutulur. Torasik bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) elastofibroma dorsi tanısında en sık kullanılan görüntüleme yöntemleridir. MRG ve BT elastofibroma dorsi'yi klinik bulguların desteği ile ayırt edebilir. Elastofibroma dorsi olduğu düşünülen asemptomatik yaşlı hastalarda gereksiz girişimsel işlemlerden kaçınmak gerekir ve bu vakalarda sadece takip yeterlidir. Bu yazıda elastofibroma dorsiden muzdarip 61 yaşında bir erkek hastanın MRG bulgularını literatür taraması ile birlikte sunmayı amaçladık.
