Elastofibroma dorsi is a benign entity that occurs most often in the subscapular area in elderly women. It has been a subject of controversy whether elastofibroma is a true neoplasm or a reactive fibrous lesion that produces abnormal elastic fibers. A biopsy should be performed to rule out sarcoma in all cases, but definitive treatment only requires simple surgical excision. We report two cases of elastofibroma and discuss the most relevant clinical and pathologic aspects.
背部弹力纤维瘤是一种良性病变，最常发生于老年女性的肩胛下区域。弹力纤维瘤是一种真正的肿瘤还是一种产生异常弹性纤维的反应性纤维病变，一直存在争议。在所有病例中均应进行活检以排除肉瘤，但明确的治疗仅需简单的手术切除。我们报告两例弹力纤维瘤病例，并讨论最相关的临床和病理方面的问题。
