Soft tissue masses of the facial region have common clinical and radiological features resulting in varied differential diagnosis. Nodular fasciitis is a benign proliferation of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts that may be mistaken for a sarcomatous lesion because of its rapid growth. Buccal space, although an uncommon site for the lesion, can be involved by nodular fasciitis. Diagnosis is usually provided by histopathology. A case of nodular fasciitis of buccal space is reported. This case demonstrated characteristic thickening and enhancement of the adjacent fascial plane, supporting the preoperative specific diagnosis of the lesion.
面部区域的软组织肿块具有常见的临床和放射学特征，导致鉴别诊断多样。结节性筋膜炎是成纤维细胞和肌成纤维细胞的良性增殖，因其生长迅速，可能被误诊为肉瘤样病变。颊间隙虽然是该病变的罕见部位，但也可被结节性筋膜炎累及。诊断通常依靠组织病理学。本文报告一例颊间隙结节性筋膜炎病例。该病例显示相邻筋膜平面有特征性增厚和强化，支持术前对病变的明确诊断。
