Abstract

An 81-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with bilateral chest wall mass in the infrascapular region. Considering the possible diagnosis of a malignant chest wall tumor at such location, we performed excision and biopsy. Both masses were histologically diagnosed as elastofibroma. We experienced this rare disease, bilateral elastofibroma, so we report this case with a bibliography.

81세 여자 환자가 양측성 흉벽 종양을 주소로 본원에 내원하여, 악성종양과 감별진단을 위해 종양적출술을 시행하여 양측성 흉벽 탄력섬유종을 진단하였다. 드문 질환으로 알려진 흉벽의 탄력섬유종 증례 1예를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
