Abstract
|
|
|
|
Nodular fasciitis is a benign proliferative disease of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts in the subcutaneous tissues. It is confused with sarcoma because of its rapid growth, mitotic activity and high cellularity. It is thought to be reactive hyperplasia rather than a true tumor, but the exact cause of the nodular fasciitis is unknown. Nodular fasciitis rarely occurs in the auricular region. To our knowledge, less than 20 cases in ear have been reported to date. Furthermore, until now there have been no reports of such a case in supraauricular region. We report a case of recurred nodular fasciitis that occurred in a supraaucricular region with a literature review.
