Pathogenesis of the elastofibroma dorsi has not been cleared. Although most cases are asymptomatic, it might cause pain and snapping scapula. It can be clinically mistaken with other benign and malign neoplasms developed in this area. As malign transformation is not reported, radical surgery is not recommended in asymptomatic and small tumours. This study presents a case of bilateral elastofibroma dorsi with persistent shoulder pain and a review of the literature.

Electromyography revealed involvement of the C5-6 myotomes and the upper trunk of the brachial plexus. Chest X-ray and electromyographic studies documented paralysis of the left diaphragm. One year after onset, muscle strength returned to normal, but radiographic and electrophysiologic findings of diaphragm paralysis were unchanged.
