SUBSCAPULAR ELASTOFIBROMA

Subscapular elastofibroma is one of the differential diagnoses of tumo rs near the lower border of the scapula. The tumor is benign and radic al surgical resection is the treatment of choice. However, this tumor mimics a soft tissue sarcoma, both on clinical grounds and on preopera tive MR imaging. Awareness of the benign nature of subscapular elastof ibroma is important to avoid unnecessary rib cage excision and reconst ruction.
