[edit] Classification Elastofibroma, also called elastofibroma dorsi, is an ill-defined fibroelastic tumor-like condition made up of enlarged and irregular elastic fibers. There are several theories about origin: There is support for a genetic predisposition, as there are alterations of short arm of chromosome 1; Multifocality may suggest systemic enzymatic defect, resulting in abnormal elastogenesis; Repeated trauma or friction seems unlikely, but is still a possibility.
