The clinical and histologic findings from a study of forty-one cases of nodular fasciitis occurring in the orofacial region are presented. These findings reveal no essential differences in the biologic conduct of nodular fasciitis, whether it occurs in the orofacial area or in its preferred sites, i.e., the extremities and trunk. Various histologic findings are illustrated, none of which, including central necrosis, are indicative of any adverse biologic behavior. Accumulation of a large series of nodular fasciitis of the orofacial region indicates that this anatomic site is perhaps uncommonly but certainly not rarely affected. Pathologists, therefore, need not be so reluctant, as was found in this study, about assigning the diagnosis of nodular fasciitis to orofacial lesions.
本文呈现了一项针对41例发生于口面部区域的结节性筋膜炎的临床和组织学研究结果。这些结果表明，结节性筋膜炎无论发生在口面部区域还是其好发部位，即四肢和躯干，其生物学行为并无本质差异。文中展示了各种组织学表现，包括中央坏死在内，均未提示任何不良生物学行为。大量口面部区域结节性筋膜炎病例的积累表明，该解剖部位虽可能不常见，但肯定并非罕见受累。因此，正如本研究中所发现的，病理学家对于将口面部病变诊断为结节性筋膜炎不必如此迟疑。
