Elastofibroma dorsi: A report on 6 cases.

Elastofibromas are slow growing fibroblastic proliferations, which occur mainly in elderly women. They are typically located in the right subscapular region and are usually asymptomatic. The characteristic findings in ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging usually allow to make the diagnosis. We report six cases of elastofibroma dorsi, the clinical presentation and radiology findings are reviewed and compared with literature.

Cervical spondylolysis: a case report.

Cervical spondylolysis is defined as a corticated cleft between the superior and inferior articular facets of the articular pillar, the cervical equivalent of the pars interarticularis in the lumbar spine. Of primary importance is its recognition to avoid confusion with more clinically significant abnormalities such as fracture or dislocation. This case report describes bilateral spondylolysis and associated dysplasia of C5 in a 31-year-old female. We describe the radiographic presentation of this anomaly, stressing the importance of computed tomography for correct diagnosis. A review of the literature on this interesting abnormality and a complete differential diagnosis are presented.
