Nodular fasciitis is a benign proliferation of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts most commonly found in the soft tissues of the upper extremities and the trunk of young to middle-aged adults. Nodular fasciitis is infrequently encountered in the breast and in the elderly. We report a case of a 69-year-old woman presenting with a palpable breast mass with imaging features that mimicked malignancy. Knowledge of this entity is important to allow proper radiological and pathologic concordance and patient management.
结节性筋膜炎是一种由成纤维细胞和肌成纤维细胞构成的良性增生性病变,最常见于青年至中年成人的上肢和躯干软组织。结节性筋膜炎在乳腺及老年人中较为罕见。我们报告一例69岁女性,其乳腺可触及肿块的影像学特征酷似恶性肿瘤。了解这一疾病对于实现正确的影像学与病理学一致性诊断及患者管理十分重要。
