Ulcerating elastofibroma dorsi.
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.
