Intramuscular type of nodular fasciitis: a report of 3 cases and review of literature

doi:10.19439/j.sjos.2019.04.019

Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: To investigate the etiology and diagnosis of nodular fasciitis. METHODS: Three patients diagnosed as intramuscular type of nodular fasciitis were reported and the relevant literatures of etiology and diagnosis were reviewed. RESULTS: Nodular fasciitis was typically diagnosed in adults between the ages of 20 and 40 years with equal incidence of males and females. The boundary of nodule was clear or unclear on clinical examination. The nodules were closely related to myofascia on CT. Histopathological examination is the best tool to diagnose this disease. CONCLUSIONS: The pathogenesis of nodular fasciitis remains unknown, and clinical manifestations are complex and diverse. Clinicians should improve the understanding of nodular fasciitis to improve the accuracy of diagnosis. Surgery is the optimal treatment for nodular fasciitis.

Key words: Oral maxillofacial region, Nodular fasciitis, Intramuscular type
