Nodular fasciitis is an unusual benign tumour composed of fibroblasts. It presents as a rapidly growing mass arising from subcutaneous or deep fascia. Less than 20% of cases occur in children. Diagnosis can only be made by histopathological examination of a biopsy of the lesion. A case of nodular fasciitis presenting as a mass arising from the right nasal cavity in a 19-month-old female is presented. The lesion was successfully eradicated by surgical removal. There has been no recurrence at 4-year review. Nodular fasciitis is a benign condition that may mimic malignancy clinically and histologically. Recognition of this condition is important to avoid unnecessarily aggressive treatment. Relevant clinical, radiological and histological features are discussed.
结节性筋膜炎是一种由成纤维细胞构成的罕见良性肿瘤。它表现为起源于皮下或深筋膜的快速生长的肿块。不到20%的病例发生在儿童。诊断只能通过对病变活检进行组织病理学检查来做出。本文报道了一例19个月大女性患者，其结节性筋膜炎表现为起源于右鼻腔的肿块。该病变通过手术切除成功根除。在4年的复查中未出现复发。结节性筋膜炎是一种在临床和组织学上可能类似恶性肿瘤的良性疾病。认识到这种疾病对于避免不必要的过度积极治疗很重要。文中讨论了相关的临床、放射学和组织学特征。
