We describe the case of a 78-year-old man with a large elastofibroma deep to his scapula that was inconspicuous on MRI examination with his arm at his side in neutral position. The mass was not detected sonographically until the patient abducted his arm, allowing the elastofibroma to emerge from under the scapula. The diagnosis of elastofibroma was suggested by the typical sonographic appearance of a hypoechoic mass with interspersed linear echogenicity, resembling muscle. The mass was excised, and the diagnosis was confirmed on histopathologic examination.
我们描述了一名78岁男性的病例，其肩胛骨深部有一个巨大的弹力纤维瘤，在手臂处于中立位放在身体一侧时，MRI检查未发现该肿物。直到患者外展手臂，使弹力纤维瘤从肩胛骨下方显露出来，超声检查才发现该肿物。弹力纤维瘤的诊断依据是超声典型表现为低回声肿物，内有散在的线状回声，类似肌肉。该肿物被切除，组织病理学检查证实了诊断。
