Elastofibroma dorsi (PET-CT)
Diagnosis certain
Updates to Case Attributes
Title
was changed:
Elastofibroma Dorsi-dorsi on PET/CT
Age
changed from 30-year-old to 30 years old.
Presentation
was changed:
History of lyphomalymphoma presented for staging. Incidental finding on PET/CT.
Body
was changed:
Elastofibroma dorsi is a benign soft-tissue tumour with a characteristic location (the subscapular region) and imaging appearance.
They are relatively common lesions.
Elastofibromas have characteristic imaging findings on MRI and CT.
Mild and moderate uptake of FDG is frequently observed in elastofibroma dorsi, which should not be misinterpreted as malignant lesions. 2.
