  • Nodular Fasciitis Involving the Cornea: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
    Cornea, 2015
    Co-Authors: Jedediah Mcclintic, Thomas Plesec, Steven D. Billings, Arun D. Singh
    Abstract:

    PURPOSE To report a case of Nodular Fasciitis involving the cornea and to review the literature of all published cases of epibulbar Nodular Fasciitis. METHODS A 38-year-old man presented with a progressively enlarging flesh-colored nodule adherent to the central cornea of his right eye. RESULTS The nodule was surgically excised. Pathologic examination and immunohistochemistry were consistent with Nodular Fasciitis, a pseudoneoplastic spindle cell tumor. CONCLUSIONS A review of the literature confirms this is the first reported case of Nodular Fasciitis involving the cornea since the original series by Zimmerman et al describing Nodular Fasciitis of the eye. Surgical excision alone is likely the most appropriate treatment option.

  • Nodular Fasciitis of the Oral Cavity with Partial Spontaneous Regression (Nodular Fasciitis)
    Head and neck pathology, 2012
    Co-Authors: Marina Lara De Carli, Karin Sá Fernandes, Décio Dos Santos Pinto, Andrea Lusvarghi Witzel, Marília Trierveiler Martins
    Abstract:

    Nodular Fasciitis is a lesion found in the subcutaneous fascia that micoscopically presents as a benign proliferation of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts, which may be mistaken for a sarcoma due to clinically rapid growth. Diagnosis is by histopathology and of the immunohistochemical profile. We describe a case of Nodular Fasciitis in the oral cavity that demonstrated partial spontaneous regression. The patient was a 32-year-old man with a buccal mucosal mass, which had grown rapidly for 45 days. On microscopic examination, the lesion displayed a well-delineated but not encapsulated proliferation of spindle cells, with a Nodular growth pattern. Immunohistochemical analysis showed positivity of the spindle cells for the antibodies against smooth muscle actin and muscle-specific actin (HHF-35). Treatment of such lesions typically involves complete conservative excision, but the lesion may regress eventually in the absence of definitive treatment.

  • Nodular Fasciitis with cortical involvement.
    Joint bone spine, 2008
    Co-Authors: Thomas Le Corroller, Tibor J. Kovacs, Pierre Champsaur
    Abstract:

    Abstract We report on the clinical and imaging features – including CT and MRI – of Nodular Fasciitis with cortical involvement in the shoulder. Nodular Fasciitis is a commonly encountered benign soft-tissue fibrous tumor that typically involves the upper extremity and may be mistaken for a sarcomatous lesion because of its rapid growth. Lesions of the intramuscular subtype, because of their large size and deep location, usually require preoperative MR-imaging. This case is the first reported to our knowledge of Nodular Fasciitis producing erosion of the cortical surface in the appendicular skeleton.
