Cranial fasciitis is a benign fibroblastic tumor of the skull found almost exclusively in young children. It is histologically identical to nodular fasciitis. We present the clinical, radiologic, and pathologic findings of a 7-month-old male infant with cranial fasciitis of the skull. Herein, we include the first description of this entity's diffusion-weighted imaging appearance. Although rare,...

Background and Objective: Nodular fasciitis (NF) is a self-limiting, transient neoplasm composed of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts. Since it regresses spontaneously, diagnosis by fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology plays a major role in its management. Methods: We present a series of 8 cases with either FNA or biopsy diagnosis of NF, and study the major...

Sir. Nodular fasciitis is a sporadic tumor that results from a benign proliferation of myofibroblasts in soft tissues. It presents clinically as a rapidly-growing firm nodule, most often localized in the subcutaneous tissue (1). While it may arise in any part ofthe body, there is a predilection for the upper extremities, especially the forearms (1-3). Nodular fasciitis occurs most commonly in y...

BACKGROUND Nodular fasciitis is a benign reactive proliferative lesion of fibroblast cells, which can occur throughout the body. However, it has rarely been reported in the breast of an elderly woman. CASE PRESENTATION Our patient was an 88-year-old Asian woman who had noticed a mass in her right breast for 1 month before presentation to our hospital. The mass was elastic-hard and 20 mm in si...

Nodular fasciitis is a benign proliferation of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts. It frequently mistaken for sarcomatous lesion because its rapid growth, imaging features aggressive pathological findings. Though plays vital role in evaluating these lesions, strong suspicion with careful histopathology the final answer. We present patient nodular involving upper extremity. A 15-year-old boy present...

BACKGROUND Nodular fasciitis is a benign mesenchymal tumor arising from fascia that typically presents as a rapidly growing, subcutaneous mass. Intraneural cases are very rare and can present with neurological symptoms, requiring surgical resection. CASE DESCRIPTION A 31-year-old woman presented to us with painful paresthesias in her elbow and progressive motor deficits, for which she underwe...

Nodular fasciitis is a benign, reactive, fibroblastic proliferation in which nodules most commonly develop in the subcutaneous or superficial fascia of the extremities. The occurrence of these growths in the orbital region is relatively rare. Our intent is to report another orbital case of this benign fibroproliferative tumor and to provide a brief review of the pertinent medical literature. Th...
