- - A biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of elastofibroma, a rare benign soft tissue tumor.
Article Abstract
A 55-year-old female presented with elastofibroma of the thigh. On presentation, she complained of a palpable, painful mass on the anterolateral right thigh that had been present for one year. She had a history of surgery for a right femur fracture. On MRI, a soft-tissue mass was seen in the vastus intermedius muscle, as a heterogeneous lesion with streaky fatty and fibrous components. The fibrous component was isointense to the muscle, and the fatty component had a high signal on both T1- and T2-weighted images. Histopathological analysis after biopsy established the diagnosis of elastofibroma.
