Abstract:
Nodular fasciitis is a soft tissue lesion that in rare instances occurs in the breast. It can clinically and radiologically mimic malignant tumor. We describe a case of nodular fasciitis of the breast in a young woman that was misdiagnosed as phyllodes tumor. The histologic features and a review of the literature are presented. Awareness of such an entity in the breast obviates the need for unnecessary surgical intervention.
