Abstract
|
|
|
|
Nodular fasciitis is a benign myofibroblastic proliferative lesion of the soft tissue. It appears typically as a rapidly growing painless solitary mass over several weeks’ duration. It may be confused with a malignant tumor, especially with a sarcomatous lesion due to its aggressive clinical behavior and histological features. Only 7-20% of theses tumors are located in the head and neck since the retroauricular lesion is extremely rare. We report on a patient with nodular fasciitis as a retroauricular mass with a review of literature.
