Elastofibroma is a rare, benign, soft-tissue tumor that usually located at the inferior pole of the scapula. It is important to differentiate this tumor from other soft-tissue tumors such as sarcoma, fibromatosis, metastatic tumor, and lipoma. A 57-year-old female who complained of chronic both shoulder pain was admitted to our hospital with bilateral, soft tissue masses located in the subscapular region. Ultrasonography, CT and MRI images showed bilateral inhomogeneous tumors that measured 7×3×6 cm. This was compatible with elastofibroma by fine-needle aspiration biopsy. Shoulder pain was gone with decreasing size of masses after conservative treatment and avoiding workload to the shoulder. We present this case with a review of literatures.
