“…Multinucleated giant cells are not a constant finding in intravascular fasciitis but have been noted in about one-third of cases reported by Patchefsky and Enzinger and nearly one-half of subsequently reported cases [1,4,5,7,8,12]. Immunoreactivity for CD68, as demonstrated in the current case and the case described by Ito et al [4], supports that these giant cells are histiocytic in origin.…”

“…Most lesions presented as a solitary nodule or swelling, although multiple lesions were found in the case reported by Wang et al [10]. Three cases appeared elongated or ''sausage-shaped'' [1,10] and one case appeared multilobulated [8]. The lesion color or color of the overlying skin/mucosa was reported as yellow, white, red, blue, or ''hyperpigmented.''…”

“…Scattered lymphocytes and red blood cells frequently were evident within the background. Multinucleated giant cells were noted in some lesions as well [1,4,5,7,8]. Mitotic activity ranged from absent or scant to prominent, although atypical mitotic figures were not found.…”

“…Since this initial description, several additional cases have been reported [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12], including three within the oral cavity [3,5] and two within periocular soft tissue [6]. With these additional reported cases, both the head and neck region and upper extremities are now the most commonly involved anatomic locations.…”

Intravascular fasciitis (IF) is an unusual variant of nodular fasciitis. It is characterized by intraluminal, intramural, and extramural involvement of small to large arteries or veins. Only three cases involving the oral cavity have been reported previously in the literature. Here we present an additional case of oral IF arising in the submucosa of the upper lip of a 20-year old female. Microscopic examination showed a well-circumscribed, nodular proliferation of spindle cells arranged in intersecting fascicles. Occasional multinucleated giants cells also were noted. The tumor was present within the lumen of an intermediate-sized artery and extended into adjacent smaller vessels, thereby creating a multinodular appearance. Extramural extension into the surrounding connective tissue also was observed. Among the 31 cases of IF reported thus far (including the present case), the majority (n = 23) arose in individuals in the 1st through 3rd decades, with a 1.4:1 male:female ratio. The most common sites of involvement were the head and neck (n = 11) and upper extremity (n = 11), followed by the lower extremity (n = 6) and trunk (n = 3). Conservative excision is standard treatment, although local recurrence has been reported in three cases. It is important for the pathologist to be aware of this lesion in order to avoid misdiagnosis as a sarcoma with angioinvasion.

“…Intravascular fasciitis, which was originally described by Patchefsky & Enzinger (3), is an unusual variant of nodular fasciitis. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11). Here we report intravascular fasciitis involving the medial border ofthe foot ofa 66-year-old man.…”
