Elastofibroma dorsi is a benign soft-tissue tumor. Its sub- and pre-scapular location and its appearance on CT and MRI generally lead to the diagnosis. We have analyzed with sonography 6 elastofibromas in 4 patients; the diagnosis was confirmed with CT scan or MRI. Some sonography imaging features supported the diagnosis of elastofibroma dorsi. In all the cases, (1) the tumor occurred typically in a sub- and pre-scapular location, and (2) showed a streaky echostructure (3). A similar symptomatic or asymptomatic mass in the opposite subscapular location is highly suggestive.
背部弹力纤维瘤是一种良性软组织肿瘤。其肩胛下和肩胛前的位置以及在CT和MRI上的表现通常可作出诊断。我们对4例患者的6个背部弹力纤维瘤进行了超声分析；诊断通过CT扫描或MRI得以证实。一些超声成像特征支持背部弹力纤维瘤的诊断。在所有病例中，（1）肿瘤通常发生在肩胛下和肩胛前位置，且（2）表现为条纹状回声结构（3）。对侧肩胛下位置出现类似的有症状或无症状肿块则高度提示该病。
