Nodular fasciitis is a rare, benign lesion characterized by the pseudosarcomatous proliferation of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts. Accurate diagnosis presents a unique challenge for otolaryngologists, as nodular fasciitis frequently mimics malignancy clinically; however, it can be distinguished from malignancy by subtle findings on pathology. A diagnosis of nodular fasciitis should be considered for any irregular or rapidly growing lesion of the head and neck area, as accurate diagnosis is particularly important to avoid overtreatment in cosmetically sensitive regions.
结节性筋膜炎是一种罕见的良性病变，其特征为成纤维细胞和肌纤维母细胞的假肉瘤样增生。准确的诊断对耳鼻喉科医生来说是一个独特的挑战，因为结节性筋膜炎在临床上常模拟恶性肿瘤；然而，通过病理学上的细微表现可以将其与恶性肿瘤区分开来。对于头颈部任何不规则或快速生长的病变，都应考虑结节性筋膜炎的诊断，因为准确的诊断对于避免在美容敏感区域过度治疗尤为重要。
