Abstract

Elastofibroma is a very rare lesion and one of the most unusual pathologic condition which a surgeon or pathologist can encounter. The elastofibroma is a completely benign lesion that is characteristically localized in the subscapular lesion. The lesion is characterized by abundant benign fibrous tissue and sparse accumulation of elastic fibers. It may occur in the old age and was not found in the adolescence or infant. Most of the elastofibroma involve unilaterally and bilateral involvement is less common. A case of bilateral elastofibroma located in the subscapular region that was treated with marginal excision is reported.
