Abstract

Elastofibroma dorsi (EFD) is a rare, benign, soft tissue tumor with an unclear pathogenesis, typically localized to the subscapular region. It occurs within the periscapular area between the ribs and dorsal chest wall muscles. Repetitive microtrauma by friction between the lower part of the scapula and the thoracic wall may cause reactive hyperproliferation of the fibroblastic tissue. This view has been supported by the higher prevalence of EFD, particularly among individuals who perform hard manual labor. EFD can, however, also be observed in those who have never performed hard manual labor and particularly in women over the age of 50. In this report, we present a case of bilateral EFD in a 52-year old woman with bilateral hypermastia, and examine the possible correlation between hypermastia and EFD.

Özet

Elastofibroma dorsi (EFD) patogenezi tam olarak bilinmeyen, nadir, benign, solid yumuşak doku tümörüdür. En sık skapulanın alt uç hizasına yerleşir ve progresif sırt ağrısına neden olur. Patogenezinde skapulanın göğüs kafesine sürtünmesi gibi mekanik iritasyona bağlı elastik dokuların hiperplazisi olduğu iddia edilmektedir. EFD ilk tarif edildiği yıllarda çok fazla kol kuvveti kullanımı gerektiren meslekleri icra edenlerin meslek hastalığı olarak görülmüştür. Fakat daha sonraki yıllarda EFD'nin diğer mesleklerde çalışanlarda ve özellikle 50 yaş üzeri ev hanımlarında da sık görüldüğü bildirilmiştir. Bu olgu sunumunda, meme büyüklüğü şikâyeti ile başvuran 52 yaşındaki bir hastada iki taraflı EFD tespit edilmesinden yola çıkarak meme büyüklüğü ve EFD arasındaki olası bir ilişki sorgulanmaktadır.
