Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Dermatopathology

Background:

  • Cranial fasciitis is a rare, benign soft tissue tumor.
  • Distinguishing it from malignant tumors can be challenging.

Observation:

  • A 2-year-old boy presented with a rapidly growing subcutaneous mass in the right occipital region.
  • The mass had a dimple in the overlying skin, mimicking malignant subcutaneous tumors with skin invasion.

Findings:

  • Total surgical resection of the mass was performed.
  • Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of cranial fasciitis.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of histological confirmation for cranial fasciitis.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate patient management and prognosis.
