We would like to thank the authors for their interest in and comments regarding our contribution about elastofibroma dorsi (ED).1 We find interesting the use of new techniques or complementary explorations that can aid in the differential diagnosis of these lesions. Magnetic resonance (MR) is the ideal technique with the best diagnostic accuracy for ED.2

As we postulate in our study, we believe that MR should be done if the physical examination and the ultrasound study do not clearly direct the diagnosis; nevertheless, more specific studies will provide greater functional and morphological information than the rest of complementary explorations.
