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.
