Summary
Nodular fasciitis, a benign fibrous tumor, can present unusually. This case highlights a rare angiographic finding of neovascularity in a supraclavicular fossa nodular fasciitis.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Radiology
- Pathology
Background:
- Nodular fasciitis is a benign soft-tissue tumor.
- It is characterized by fibrous proliferation.
Observation:
- A case of nodular fasciitis in the supraclavicular fossa is presented.
- Unusual angiographic neovascularity was observed.
Findings:
- The case demonstrates atypical angiographic features in nodular fasciitis.
- Neovascularity is an uncommon finding in this benign tumor.
Implications:
- This case expands the understanding of nodular fasciitis imaging.
- Awareness of unusual presentations aids diagnosis and management.

01:16Vascular Spasm
The vascular phase, also known as vasospasm, is the initial stage of hemostasis, crucial for preventing excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. After a vessel is cut, nerves in the damaged area trigger pain and other sensory impulses. Simultaneously, the smooth muscles in the vessel wall contract, resulting in a vascular spasm. This contraction reduces the vessel's diameter at the injury site, slowing or stopping blood loss through the vessel wall. Vascular spasms typically last for...
01:26Arteries of the Head and Neck
The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...

01:19Veins of Head and Neck
The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...
