Clinical features, imaging findings, treatment aspects of elastofibroma dorsi and long-term outcomes after surgical resection.

Abstract

In our series, clinical features and imaging findings of ED are consistent with current evidence; however, results of our follow-up group marks a difference from the literature, according to which there is no evidence of local recurrence after complete resection. Diagnosis of ED is based on clinical and imaging features; treatment is surgical, especially in symptomatic cases. Prolonging the clinical and US follow-up period may be useful in identifying local recurrence.
