Imaging assessment of the scapular girdle elastofibromas

Elastofibroma dorsi, a slow-growing, soft-tissue pseudotumor has been more and more remembered in the differential diagnosis of chronic scapular pain. It has also been incidentally diagnosed in routine diagnostic imaging tests. Our approach here is the imaging diagnosis, which can start with the conventional X-ray, but is better characterized by the ultrasound and the magnetic resonance, the latter being the modality of choice.
