Nodular fasciitis is a rare and benign inflammatory condition; however, it can be misdiagnosed as a malignant lesion. We report a unique case of nodular fasciitis arising from the maxillary sinus in a 2-year-old child. Our English literature review (PubMed search), revealed a total of 3 cases published as nodular fasciitis in the para-nasal sinuses, each with a different management approach.
结节性筋膜炎是一种罕见的良性炎症性疾病;然而,它可能被误诊为恶性病变。我们报告了一例独特的结节性筋膜炎病例,发生于一名2岁儿童的上颌窦。我们对英文文献(PubMed检索)的回顾显示,共有3例被报道为鼻窦结节性筋膜炎,每例的治疗方法都不同。
