A 75-year-old male was admitted to the Kumamoto University Hospital on December 12, 1985, because of the tumors on bilateral subscapular region.
He noticed the tumor about 6 months before admission. And there was no symptoms. On admission, the tumors were palpated at bilateral subscapular regions. They were elastic-hard and 4.7×4.2cm, 4.5×4.0cm in size. The tumors were both resected. The pathological study revealed elastfib-roma.
Elastfibroma is uncommon and about 300 cases have been reported in the world so far. Over two-thirds of these were from Okinawa Prefecture, in Japan. It occurs predominantly in the subscapular region of aged females. Occasionally the tumors are found bilaterally.
