It is usually unilateral, and bilateral involvement occurs in only 10% of patients. We report herein a case of a 56-year-old woman with bilateral elastofibroma dorsi. The patient was found to have bilateral involvement of the tumor following a physical examination with proper positioning. An elastofibroma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of tumors deeply located at the periscapular area. Meticulous physical examination may reveal a nonpalpable coexisting tumor with deep subscapular location and help the accurate diagnosis of bilateral elastofibroma dorsi, hence preventing a secondary operation.
