A Case Report of the Intravascular Fasciitis of a Neck Vein Mimicking Intravascular Tumorous Conditions

Abstract: Intravascular fasciitis is a rare variant of nodular fasciitis, which can be easily misdiagnosed as a tumorous condition. We had a patient with an intravenous mass of a neck vein, and surgical excision was successful. Although all preoperative imaging studies and intraoperative pathologic reports suggested certain tumorous conditions as differential diagnosis results, the final diagnosis confirmed that it was an intravascular fasciitis based on its fibromixoid tissues with the proliferation of spindle cells an… Show more

“…Of these thirty-six patients, 80% were under the age of thirty. There is no significant difference in the incidence rate between males and females, and the ratio is close to 1:1[ 8 - 10 ]. However, among the cases reported domestically, the epidemiological characteristics are inconsistent with those of foreign cases, which may be caused by an insufficient number of reported cases.…”

“…We decided to perform surgery with intraoperative frozen section biopsy. In contrast, Kang et al [ 16 ] performed ultrasound-guided biopsy, revealing that the mass contained fibrous tissues with chronic inflammation; however, this was not helpful in differentiating IVF from sarcoma. Endovascular biopsy may be attempted for an intravascular tumor in a large vessel [ 17 ].…”

“…In total, 38 patients with IVF are reported in cases recorded in PubMed ( Table 1 ) ( 1 – 26 ). So far, IVF occurring in large veins is reported in five cases ( 17 , 18 , 21 , 24 , 25 ). To our knowledge, there are no reports of intravascular fasciitis that has invaded the jugular vein as seen in this case.…”
