Macroscopic appearance of elastofibroma dorsi.

Mass is clearly seen on the left inferior corner of the scapula with abduction and elevation of the arm.

(A) Bent or globoid elastic fibers and rare fibroblasts are visible in imaging degenerated with eosinophilic thick collagen (H&E, ×200). (B) Extending and globoid elastic fibers observed using Verhoeff–van Gieson's histochemical dye.

(A) Axial T1 sequence shows isointense mass between scapula and thoracic wall. (B) Heterogenous contrast enhancement of lesion in T1 fat saturation sequence.

Surgical technique. (A) Mass is made clearly visible by abducting and elevating the arm in the prone position, and (B) is reached by passing through latissimus dorsi and serratus anterior muscles. (C). Chest wall after resection. (D) Appearance after the wound was closed.
