Nodular fasciitis is a rare benign lesion. Here we report a case of post-auricular nodular fasciitis, which was misdiagnosed by fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) as pleomorphic adenoma. An 18-year-old male presented at Al-Nahdha Hospital, physical examination revealed a right post aural firm immobile mass. Radiology suggested the presence of a hypo-dense to iso-dense subcutaneous mass. The swelling was excised and sent for histopathological examination which suggested the diagnosis of nodular fasciitis. FNAC reported pleomorphic adenoma of unusual location should raise the suspicion of nodular fasciitis.
结节性筋膜炎是一种罕见的良性病变。在此我们报告一例耳后结节性筋膜炎病例，该病例经细针穿刺细胞学检查（FNAC）误诊为多形性腺瘤。一名18岁男性到纳赫达医院就诊，体格检查发现右耳后有一个质地坚硬、活动度差的肿块。影像学检查提示存在一个从低密度到等密度的皮下肿块。该肿物被切除并送去做组织病理学检查，结果提示为结节性筋膜炎。FNAC报告的不寻常部位的多形性腺瘤应引起对结节性筋膜炎的怀疑。
