Elastofibroma dorsi is a rarely made radiological diagnosis. The rarity of the condition, lack of a suitable imaging modality, and an inconsistent clinical approach in evaluating indeterminate soft tissue tumors has contributed to this failure. With magnetic resonance imaging now being recognized as the examination of choice for all indeterminate soft tissue tumors, a prebiopsy diagnosis can frequently be made by radiologists familiar with the characteristic periscapular location, predilection for elderly females, and short T2 on magnetic resonance imaging.
背部弹力纤维瘤是一种很少通过放射学作出诊断的疾病。该病症的罕见性、缺乏合适的成像方式以及在评估不确定的软组织肿瘤时临床方法不一致，导致了这种诊断失败。由于磁共振成像现在被公认为是所有不确定软组织肿瘤的首选检查方法，熟悉肩胛周围特征性位置、好发于老年女性以及磁共振成像上短T2信号的放射科医生通常可以在活检前作出诊断。
