Elastofibroma dorsi is a slowly growing tumour-like process composed of an ill-defined mass of fibro-elastic tissue. It occurs almost exclusively in the elderly and is thought to result from mechanical friction. It has received little attention in the radiological literature and is considered a rare lesion. With indications for computerised imaging expanding, elastofibroma dorsi will probably be seen more frequently. This report describes an elastofibroma presenting in an 11-year-old girl and its appearance by magnetic resonance imaging. Presumptive diagnosis by magnetic resonance imaging may prevent unnecessary radical surgery.
背部弹力纤维瘤是一种生长缓慢的肿瘤样病变，由边界不清的纤维弹性组织团块构成。它几乎仅发生于老年人，被认为是机械摩擦所致。在放射学文献中它很少受到关注，被视为一种罕见病变。随着计算机成像的适应证不断扩大，背部弹力纤维瘤可能会更频繁地被发现。本报告描述了一名11岁女孩身上出现的背部弹力纤维瘤及其磁共振成像表现。通过磁共振成像进行初步诊断可避免不必要的根治性手术。
