Abstract:
Nodular fasciitis or proliferative fasciitis is currently classified as a tumor-like hyperplastic lesion of soft tissues. Histological characteristics of this lesion have often caused diagnostic problems since it can be mistaken for a malignant mesenchymal neoplasm. To highlight this we report a case of nodular fasciitis that was difficult to diagnose because of its atypical radiographic and clinical features.
