Involvement was on the right in six patients, on the left in five patients, and bilateral in two patients. All the patients presented with a mass lesion that became apparent at the lower corner of the scapula on shoulder flexion and adduction. The complaints were swelling and pain on the back in nine patients, and a snapping sound on shoulder movements together with pain in four patients. Diagnosis of ED was made by magnetic resonance imaging (n=10) and computed tomography (n=3), with no utilization of preoperative biopsy. Marginal tumor excision was performed in all cases. Evaluation for recurrence was made by ultrasonography. The mean follow-up period was 32 months (range 8 to 90 months).\\r\\nResults: All the masses were located at the inferior corner of the scapula, with adherence to the thorax between the serratus anterior, rhomboid, and latissimus dorsi muscles. The mean size of the surgical specimens was 9x6x3 cm (range 5x3x1 to 14x8x3 cm). Clinical diagnosis was confirmed by histopathologic examination in all cases. All major complaints resolved after surgery. Hematoma occurred in four cases postoperatively, but resolved without the need for surgical intervention. No recurrence was observed.\\r\\nConclusion: Even though ED is a rare clinic entity, it should be recalled while evaluating shoulder pathologies. Marginal excision is adequate for the treatment of patients with sustaining complaints.\n\n\u00d6zet\n\nAma\u00e7: Elastofibroma dorsi (ED) nedeniyle cerrahi tedavi uygulanan hastalar de\u011ferlendirildi.\\r\\n\u00c7al\u0131\u015fma plan\u0131: \u00c7al\u0131\u015fmaya ED tan\u0131s\u0131 konan ve yak\u0131nmalar\u0131n s\u00fcrmesi nedeniyle cerrahi tedavi uygulanan 13 hasta (11 kad\u0131n, 2 erkek; ort. ya\u015f 54; da\u011f\u0131l\u0131m 43-74) al\u0131nd\u0131.
