Overview
Nodular fasciitis, also known as Nodular pseudosarcomatous fasciits and Subcutaneous pseudosarcomatous fibromatosis[1]:992, is a benign[2] lesion most commonly found in the superficial fascia. It is most common in young persons on the upper extremities and trunk. Commonly mistaken for a sarcoma.
Pathophysiology
Histology
- Histologically vast array of patterns.
- Short S-shaped fascicles, inflammation, accelerated mitotic index with normal mitoses.
- Essentially spindle cell proliferation.
- Stroma is rich in collagen and/or myxoid ground substance.
