Abstract
Elastrofibromas are rare lesions characterized by collagen and elastic fiber deposition. They are generally found in soft tissues and throughout the gastrointestinal tract. The pathogenesis of this lesion is still uncertain, but it is hypothesized to be a reactive process. We present a case of an appendiceal elastofibroma, a unique anatomic location that necessitated surgical removal, with pathologic findings suggestive of an inciting event from a sclerosed vascular abnormality.
