In existing literature about elastofibroma dorsi (ED), no cases reported ED arising after latissimus dorsi flap harvest. Concretely, we present a patient who developed an ED at latissimus dorsi free flap donor site 10 years after harvesting. After our research, we found the occurrence of ED after thoracotomy surgery, stressing the importance of previous local trauma. Latissimus dorsi flap harvest is also a local traumatic episode, although its association with ED has not been previously reported. Thus, ED should be considered in the differential diagnosis of deep soft tissue lumps after latissimus dorsi harvest.
在现有的关于背阔肌弹力纤维瘤(ED)的文献中,没有报道过在背阔肌皮瓣切取后发生ED的病例。具体而言,我们报告了1例患者,在背阔肌游离皮瓣供区切取10年后发生了ED。经过我们的研究,发现开胸手术后会出现ED,强调了既往局部创伤的重要性。背阔肌皮瓣切取也是一个局部创伤事件,尽管此前尚未报道其与ED有关。因此,在背阔肌切取术后深部软组织肿块的鉴别诊断中应考虑ED。
