Abstract

Abstract A case of elastofibroma presenting in a 72-year-old male with shoulder pain and limitation of movement is reported. Removal of this benign lesion resulted in relief of pain and gradual restoration of full shoulder mobility. No other cases of this condition appear to have been reported in the British literature. The histological characteristics of this rarity are described and the possible aetiology discussed although this is uncertain. It may be rare only because of its benign course and its obscure situation which render it liable to be overlooked. Elastofibroma may occur bilaterally and asynchronously.
