#Nodular Fascitis of Zygoma- A Case Report by Koijam Shashi Kumar in BJSTR
Abstract
Nodular Fasciitis is a benign reactive lesion of fibroblast that
presents as a solitary, well circumscribed, rapidly growing soft tissue
mass. It
is most commonly located in the upper extremities, chest and trunk.
Nodular fasciitis is rarely found in the Head & Neck region.
Although benign
it can be associated with a malignant process because of its rapid
growth. Hence accurate diagnosis is important to avoid unnecessary and
often
mutilating surgery. We present a case of nodular fasciitis over zygoma
in a 10 yr old child and its management.
