Elastofibroma dorsi: What’s new?

Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare slowgrowing soft tissues tumor. The lesion usually grows near the shoulder but could also involve other location. Pathogenesis of elastofibroma dorsi is still unknown and in the literature, there are mostly described case report or case series. The aim of our study is to summarize the recent innovation in the histology and immunoistochemical finding about elastofibroma and update the radiological algorithm of diagnosis.
