introduction: nodular fasciitis is described as a benign reactive proliferation of myofibroblasts. due to its rapid-growing nature, a precise clinical diagnosis is difficult and the condition is frequently misdiagnosed as malignant lesions.   case report: in this study, we present the case of a young woman with an auricular nodular fasciitis as an example of one of the rarest sites of this tumo...

Sir, Nodular fasciitis is a benign lesion arising in the subcutaneous tissue, skeletal muscles and fascia (1, 2). It is important not to confuse the disease with true sarcoma or other malignant tumours. Intravascular fasciitis, which was originally described by Patchefsky & Enzinger (3), is an unusual variant of nodular fasciitis. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature (4–11). He...

This is a report of a 43-year-old man with nodular fasciitis of the little finger. Nodular fasciitis with its feature of rapid growth and aggressive histological appearance is often mistaken for a malignant neoplasm and rarely involves fingers.

Nodular fasciitis falls within the benign spectrum of fibrous soft-tissue tumors. We present a case of nodular fasciitis in the supraclavicular fossa in which an unusual angiographic presence of neovascularity is shown.

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...

UNLABELLED Pathological lesions in and around a joint can arise from underlying dermis, subcutis, deep muscle, bone or synovium. Clinical presentation can include joint pain, joint swelling, palpable masses and mechanical restriction. Whilst giant cell tumour of tendon sheath, pigmented villonodular synovitis, synovial chondromatosis, lipoma arborescens, juxta articular myxomas and inflammatory...

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...

odular fasciitis, also known as infiltrative or pseudosarcomatous fasciitis, is a benign soft tissue tumor of fibroblastic/myofibroblastic differentiation that was first described in 1955 by Konwaler et al.1 The lesion often comes to clinical attention when a patient presents with a rapidly growing, occasionally painful, palpable soft tissue mass.2,3 Although benign and self-limited, nodular fa...

Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is applied very uncommonly to soft tissue masses and even more infrequently to lesions of the hand. Nodular fasciitis, an uncommon pseudosarcomatous lesion of soft tissue, rarely occurs in the hand and, because of this, is not often considered in the differential diagnosis of hand masses. We report 3 cases (2 men and 1 woman; mean age, 44.3 years) of soft ti...
