Elastofibroma (EF) is a rare soft tissue tumor that typically occurs in the scapular region, with its occurrence in the rectum being extremely uncommon. In this report, we present a case of rectal EF in a 72-year-old female, which was definitively diagnosed through histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and special staining analyses. This case emphasizes the diagnostic challenges posed by rectal EF and underscores the necessity of histopathological and immunohistochemical assessment in distinguishing it from other spindle cell neoplasms, particularly when imaging findings are inconclusive.
弹力纤维瘤（EF）是一种罕见的软组织肿瘤，通常发生于肩胛区，极少发生于直肠。在本报告中，我们呈现了一例72岁女性直肠弹力纤维瘤病例，通过组织病理学、免疫组织化学及特殊染色分析得以明确诊断。该病例强调了直肠弹力纤维瘤所带来的诊断挑战，并凸显了组织病理学和免疫组织化学评估在鉴别其与其他梭形细胞肿瘤时的必要性，尤其是在影像学检查结果不明确的情况下。
