Elastofibroma is a benign, poorly circumscribed, tumor-like condition involving, in the vast majority of cases, the subscapular region of elderly individuals, though isolated cases have been seen in the deltoid muscle, infraolecranon area, hip, thigh and stomach. It is characterized by accumulated abnormal elastic fibres and is generally regarded as a reactive process, an unusual fibroblastic pseudotumor. Multiple elastofibromas have been reported to occur in the scapula and olecranon and in the scapula and ischium, whereas literature reports of multiple elastofibromas in the same patient are rare.
