 | An 81 year old woman noted pain and swelling behind both scapulae for many months. Patient frequently walked her two large dogs on the beach, and attempted to control them by tugging on their leashes. She was otherwise in good health. On examination there were two slightly tender masses, each under a scapula. |
 |
 | The MRI’s reveal large subscapular soft tissue masses. The impression was bilateral elastofibroma under each scapulae. Patient stated she wished to have these masses removed because they were painful. |
 | |
 | The masses were removed at six month time intervals. The 12cm soft tissue mass can be seen. |
 | The photomicrograph demonstrates broad collagenous strands and densely packed fragmented elastic fibers with many round shapes. |
| At two years postop, the patient was quite comfortable and continued to have full shoulder motion. |
