Elastofibroma Dorsi: A Histochemical and Immunohistochemical Study
Elastofibroma dorsi (ED) is considered a member of a heterogeneous group of benign fibrous (fibroblastic or myofibroblastic) soft-tissue tumors, frequently localized in the periscapular region in middle aged or older individuals. However, the pathogenesis of ED is still unclear and many authors believe that ED results from a reactive hyperproliferation of fibroblastic tissue, while others sugge...
متن کاملHistochemical and ultrastructural study of an elastofibroma dorsi coexisting with a high grade spindle cell sarcoma.
Elastofibroma dorsi is a pseudotumoral fibroproliferative lesion characterized by polymorphic fiber-like deposits of elastinophilic material. Several theories have been reported explaining the pathogenesis of elastofibroma. Recent cytogenetic studies have demonstrated chromosomal instability in elastofibromas, not normally observed in non-neoplastic tissues. These chromosomal defects are common...
متن کاملElastofibroma dorsi.
We present our experience on 6 patients (4 females, 2 males) with elastofibroma dorsi. The diagnosis was based on imaging studies along with clinical examination. Surgery was decided due to the symptomatic nature of the tumors along with the consent and willingness of the patients. All patients had an uncomplicated course and long term follow up did not show any disease recurrence.
متن کاملBilateral elastofibroma dorsi
A 76-year-old female patient with a previous history of surgically resected rectal cancer for seven years was admitted for diagnostic investigation of bilateral and symmetrical dorsal masses. She reported chronic pain in the thoracic spine. At clinical examination, the masses were solid, mobile, located subcutaneously and inferiorly to the scapulae (Figure 1A). Computed tomography (CT) showed t...
متن کاملImaging for Elastofibroma Dorsi Diagnosis
Accurate diagnosis of elastofibroma dorsi may be achieved with a proper clinical history, knowledge of the characteristic site of the lesion, and typical imaging findings to avoid unnecessary biopsy and surgery. The lesion may easily be misinterpreted as a neoplasm, but it has characteristic imaging features in ultrasonography, CT, and MRI. To better understand the imaging features, physicians ...
