Elastofibromadorsi is a rare, slow-growing, ill-defined soft tissue tumor of the chest wall, most commonly located beneath the rhomboid major and latissimus dorsi muscles. This lesion is usually seen in patients over the age of 50 years. The symptoms depend on the size and location of the lesion. Clinical presentation is usually swelling, discomfort, snapping of the scapula, and occasionally pain. Its etiology has not been defined yet.The anatomic location, clinical symptoms, and typical radiologic features of elastofibromadorsi may not easily distinguish this rare benign tumor from malignant soft tissue tumors. A biopsy should be performed to rule out sarcoma in all cases, but the definitive treatment only requires simple surgical excision. Surgery should be recommended only for symptomatic patients having complaints. We report a case of bilateral elastofibromadorsi witch is un common specially when it occurred in very old age, the clinical presentation, radiology findings,surgical indications and complicationsare reviewed and compared with literature.
