ABSTRACT

Background: Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare, benign, unilateral pseudotumor, usually asymptomatic. The diagnosis is established through imaging and histopathological studies.
Clinical case: A 35-year-old mestizo-Mexican female patient from a tropical area of Mexico (Chiapas) in whom the diagnosis of elastofibroma dorsi was confirmed with a histopathological study. She received no treatment for being asymptomatic.
Conclusions: The early age of appearance of our patient (35 years) is noted, because this disease is more frequent in ages over 70 years. It is important to carry out a histopathological study when this type of disease is suspected.
