چکیده
Nodular fasciitis (NF) is a rare fibroblastic proliferative lesion, characterized clinically as a solitary mass of hardened and slightly painful on palpation, fast growing and no gender preference. The objective of this study is to report the case of a patient with NF in third finger of left hand, describe the findings of plain radiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging and correlate with the literature. Since the diagnosis of NF is a challenge, being necessary to conciliate the clinical, radiological and pathological.

Nodular fasciitis is a benign, reactive myofibroblastic tumor that is often mistaken for a sarcoma because of its histological appearance and rapid growth. Involvement of a finger is extremely rare. We report a case of nodular fasciitis of the thumb, accompanied by bone erosion. Magnetic resonance findings suggested the possibility of a malignancy, which could have led to misdiagnosis as a mali...

The diagnosis of Nodular Fasciitis is a very challenging on cytological aspirations. Even in histopathological sections, it can be sometimes be mistaken for soft tissue sarcomas due to its high cellularity, presence of mitotic figures, poor circumscription and degenerative myxoid areas. Most commonly, nodular fasciitis is seen on extremities; and sub-cutaneous form is most common. We are hereby...

Rapidly growing soft tissue masses of the oral and maxillofacial region are highly diverse in nature and mimic malignancy. Nodular fasciitis (NF) being one such lesion. Its aggressive behaviour coupled with nonspecific histological features add to the difficulty in diagnosis. NF is a benign, reactive proliferation of fibroblasts (myofibroblasts) in the subcutaneous tissues. They are common in u...
