Abstract

Elastofibroma dorsi is a stiff, slow growing, cresent shaped pseudotumor of elder age group. It has been showing fibraelastic proliferation and arising from subscapular or infrascapular region. A 72 year-old female with bilateral elastofibroma dorsi is reported. The aim of this study is to point out the importance of elastofibroma dorsi to the comparatively less experienced clinicians and radiologists and to discuss the best way to diagnose this tumor. In addition, we would like to emphasize that elastofibroma dorsi is not so uncommon tumor but it is just not recognized enough yet, contrary to many reported case reports and articles

Özet

Elastofibroma dorsi, yaşlılarda görülen sert, yavaş büyüyen, hilal şeklinde bir yalancı tümördür. Fibroelastik proliferasyon gösterir ve subskapular veya infraskapular bölgede oluşur. Bu çalışmada, 72 yaşında bir bayan hastada iki taraflı elastofibroma dorsi olgusu sunulmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, nispeten az tecrübeli klinisyen ve radyologlar için elastofibroma dorsinin önemini belirtmek ve en iyi tanı tanı yöntemini tartışmaktır.Ek olarak elastofibroma dorsinin aslında çok nadir bir tumor olmadığını ancak yayımlanan pek çok olgu sunumu ve makalelere rağmen yeteri kadar tanınmadığını vurgulamak istedik
