ABSTRACT

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 nodula r 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.
