J Am Acad Dermatol. 1989 Nov;21(5 Pt 2):1142-4. doi: 10.1016/s0190-9622(89)70317-0.

Abstract

Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare, benign tumor in elderly persons that usually occurs in the subscapular region. It represents a degenerative pseudoneoplastic process that resembles a malignant neoplasm. We report a patient with an elastofibroma dorsi of unusual size that ulcerated. This is a rare if not unique finding in elastofibroma dorsi.
