Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare, benign, soft tissue lesion which is usually located in the infrascapular region between the muscles. It is often
asymptomatic; however, it may cause moderate shoulder pain during the movement of the scapula. Clinical findings and imaging methods
are useful for the diagnosis. Elastofibroma dorsi should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a soft tissue mass in the scapular region
of the back associated with shoulder pain. Herein, we present a 57-year-old male case admitted to our outpatient clinic and diagnosed with
a unilateral elastofibroma dorsi.
