Abstract
|
|
|
|
Cranial fasciitis is an uncommon subset of nodular fasciitis composed of spindle cells and myxoid stroma. This is not considered as a true neoplasm, as it occurs mostly in the scalp as a rapidly growing mass accompanied by adjacent bony structure destruction. There are few cases of cranial fasciitis reported in the literature; however, we experienced a case of a 2-year-old girl with swelling of midface. Subtotal resection was performed and the final pathological result confirmed cranial fasciitis. We report this rare case with a review of the literature.
