Elastofibroma dorsi.
We present our experience on 6 patients (4 females, 2 males) with elastofibroma dorsi. The diagnosis was based on imaging studies along with clinical examination. Surgery was decided due to the symptomatic nature of the tumors along with the consent and willingness of the patients. All patients had an uncomplicated course and long term follow up did not show any disease recurrence.
متن کاملOncologic positron emission tomography: a surgical perspective.
BACKGROUND OF PET In the vast majority of current clinical applications, PET uses a glucose analog tracer, 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), which has a half-life of 110 minutes. Because of this, PET scanners previously had to be located relatively closely to a cyclotron, the type of accelerator utilized for 18F production. In recent years, local and regional distribution centers have increased the...
متن کاملBilateral elastofibroma dorsi
A 76-year-old female patient with a previous history of surgically resected rectal cancer for seven years was admitted for diagnostic investigation of bilateral and symmetrical dorsal masses. She reported chronic pain in the thoracic spine. At clinical examination, the masses were solid, mobile, located subcutaneously and inferiorly to the scapulae (Figure 1A). Computed tomography (CT) showed t...
متن کاملImaging for Elastofibroma Dorsi Diagnosis
Accurate diagnosis of elastofibroma dorsi may be achieved with a proper clinical history, knowledge of the characteristic site of the lesion, and typical imaging findings to avoid unnecessary biopsy and surgery. The lesion may easily be misinterpreted as a neoplasm, but it has characteristic imaging features in ultrasonography, CT, and MRI. To better understand the imaging features, physicians ...
