Extensive elastofibroma dorsi with scapulo-thoracic involvement in a male laborer: A case report.
Int J Surg Case Rep
January 2025
University of Tunis El Manar, Tunis Faculty of Medicine, 1007, Tunisia; Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Hospital Mongi Slim La Marsa, Tunisia.
Introduction And Importance: Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare benign soft tissue lesion primarily located in the subscapular region. This distinctive lesion, with its unique radiological and histological features, poses diagnostic challenges due to its subtle presentation and overlap with other conditions.
Case Presentation: A 48-year-old man, manual laborer with an unremarkable medical history presented with a progressively enlarging mass below the right scapula over two years.
Anthropometric measurements as predictors of nutritional status in black South African women during pregnancy.

Department of Medical Biochemistry, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa.
Background: Nutritional risk assessment is an essential component of primary health care screening, especially for pregnant women. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between maternal body mass index (BMI) and maternal anthropometric measurements in black South African pregnant women, both with and without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional observational study design was used.
Methods for measuring body composition in Zambian adolescents living with HIV.

Article Synopsis
- Body composition assessment is crucial for managing health conditions like HIV, especially in resource-limited settings such as Africa.
- Researchers tested methods like dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), bioelectrical impedance (BIA), and various anthropometric measures on 420 HIV-infected adolescents in Zambia.
- While BIA and anthropometry provided some data, they were not reliable enough for tracking changes in body composition compared to DXA, with BIA potentially being useful for identifying general trends when DXA isn’t available.
A 78-Year-Old Man with Elastofibroma Dorsi Presenting as a Left Subscapular Mass.
Am J Case Rep
November 2024
Department of Pathology, University Hospital of Thessaloniki AHEPA, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece.
Article Synopsis
- Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare, non-cancerous soft-tissue tumor commonly found in elderly women, usually causing no symptoms but potentially leading to discomfort and pain in the shoulder.
- A case study of a 78-year-old man revealed an asymptomatic mass in the subscapular region, diagnosed and confirmed via MRI, and successfully removed through surgery with no complications.
- The findings highlight the importance of imaging and histopathological analysis to differentiate elastofibroma dorsi from malignant conditions, along with a call for further research to understand its development mechanisms.
Development and validation of a new anthropometric equation to predict skeletal muscle mass in a heterogeneous caucasian population.

Assessment of skeletal muscle mass (SMM) is essential to monitor physical performance and health status. The most widely used anthropometric equations have repeatedly demonstrated to overestimate or underestimate SMM in different populations. Herein, we developed and cross-validated a new anthropometric regression equation for estimating SMM, using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) as the reference method.
