Özet

Elastofibroma dorsi, patogenezi belli olmayan ve sıklıkla yaşlılarda görülen, periskapular yerleşimli yalancı tümöral (psödotümöral) kitle lezyonudur. Bu yazıda, histolojik olarak elastofibroma dorsi tanısı konmuş , iddetli periskapular ağrı ile gelen iki olguya ait manyetik rezonans görüntüleme bulgularını sunduk.

Abstract

Elastofibroma dorsi is a pseudotumoral mass of unknown pathogenesis that is usually seen in elderly patients. We report two cases of histologically proven elastofibroma dorsi, each presenting with painful periscapular masses. Magnetic resonance imaging showed periscapular tumoral mass with low to intermediate signal intensity with interspersed areas of high signal intensity on both T1 and T2 weighted images. After I.V. administration of gadopentate dimeglumine, these lesions demonstrated mild enhancement. Awareness of the characteristic location and radiologic appearance of this benign lesion prevents unnecessary radical interventions.
