Özet

Elastofibroma dorsi is a benign lesion commonly presents as a palpable enlarging mass at the inferior pole of the scapula. Clinical presentation and radiological characteristics are often enough to suggest an accurate diagnosis. Increased awareness of thecharacteristic appearance and location of these benign lesions will increase radiologic diagnosis and decrease the need for biopsy.Ten patients were admitted with a complaint of asymptomatic or painful subcutaneous masses localized at subscapulary region.Thorax computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a new feasible technique in differential diagnosis withmalignancy and probable diagnosis of elastofibroma dorsi and diffusion-weighted MRI were used for diagnosis.Surgery was applied to all patients, frozen-section biopsies of the lesions at the preoperative period, and final pathologies wereall benign. Totally resection of whole lesions as en-bloc excision without any rest was performed at all patients. Postoperative andfollow-up periods were uneventful.Diffusion MRI can play an important role in the future and save the patients, especially medically poor ones, from the potential risksof surgery. Necessary further examinations for probable bilaterally lesions will save the patient from the risk of a second operation.
