Abstract

A 63 year-old woman visited our hospital with a palpable chest wall mass in the infrascapular region. We performed excision of the mass. The mass was histolocally diagnosed as elastofibroma. Elastofibroma is characterized by the proliferation of fibrous tissue with elastin. It is a relatively slow growing benign soft tissue tumor and it is most often found in the infrascapular region. We have experienced a cases of this rare disease and we report on it together with a review of the relevant literature.

63세 여자 환자가 좌측 견갑골 하부에 만져지는 흉벽 종괴를 주소로 본원을 내원하여 종양적출술을 시행하였으며, 조직 검사상 탄력 섬유종으로 진단되었다. 탄력섬유종은 탄력섬유를 포함하는 섬유조직의 증식을 특징으로 한다. 비교적 천천히 자라는 양성의 연조직 종양으로 견갑골 하부에 가장 많이 발생한다. 드문 질환으로 알려진 흉벽의 탄력섬유종을 치험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
