Abstract
|
|
|
Nodular fasciitis is an unusual benign tumor which is composed of myofibroblast. Typical histologic findings include haphazardly arranged pleomorphic arranged spindle cells in a myxoid stroma. These lesions may easily be misinterpreted as malignancy clinically and histologically because it presents as a rapidly growing mass from subcutaneous or deep fascia. These lesions are usually located over upper extremity and rarely in the head and neck region. It¡¯s important to emphasize the need of clinical suspicion and accurate histopathology of this rare benign lesion usually misdiagnosed as a malignacy to avoid unnecessary and inappropriate aggressive wide resection, when encountering subcutaneous nodules of the face and neck region. In this article, we report a rare case of Nodular fasciitis on the Nose and some reviews of the literature.
