Elastofibroma is a rare slowly growing benign soft tissue tumor of mesenchymal origin, characterized by typical localization in the subscapular region. It consists of proliferating fibrous and adipose tissue. The first elastofibroma was diagnosed in 1958 [1]. The first clinical case called "Elastofibroma of the Back" was presented at the XII Scandinavian Congress of Pathologists by doctors O. Jarvi and A.E. Saxen. However, this case was published only in 1961 [2, 3].
