“…Only 10% or less of all NF positive confirmed cases has been reported on children [12] with an estimated male ratio up to 2:1 [13] but other series state no gender preference [3]. In actual literature number of patients with nodular fasciits (NF) other than cranial/ extracranial presenting congenital is zero and with cranial fasciitis during first days of life is extremely low [14,15] and number of NF at other places than head and neck region in early newborns is limited to a single case report in the literature [16]. NF in early childhood presents often as a subcutaneous nodule with fast growing within 2-4 weeks unilateral and mainly solitary [12].…”

Background Nodular fasciits is thought to be a benign superficial nodular disease, which most often occurs in the medium age of adolescence, mainly in the subcutaneous or fascial plane on the upper extremities and trunk. The percentage of this entity in children compared to adults is less than 10%. Most cases in childhood were reported at the head and neck region, therefore often renamed to cranial or extracranial fasciitis. These lesions often consists of sarcoma like structures. Preoperative imaging is often unspecific and the standard of treatment in children is biopsy or in some cases complete resection with narrow margin depending on size or location of the lesion. Case presentation We present a clinical case of a female newborn with a congenital nodular presternal mass. Biopsy revealed nodular fasciits by testing on USP6 gen rearrangement. With ongoing growth of her nodular thoracic tumor, she underwent complete resection with primary closure. We followed her clinical course over more than 3 years and give a review of the literature. Conclusion Only a minority of reports are documented with a neonate onset and none with a real congenital. We hereby presented the first case in literature of a proven congenital fasciits other than cranial/extracranial in a newborn and her clinical course.

“…Seven percent to 20% of NF cases occur most commonly along subcutaneous tissues adjacent to bony prominences such as the zygoma, angle of the mandible, and anterior and inferior border of the mandible [7]. Two cases were identified involving the larynx [8], 2 cases reported involving the pharynx and hypopharynx [9,10], and only 1 case reported involving the TMJ [11].…”

a b s t r a c tNodular fasciitis is a benign soft tissue neoplasm of mesenchymal origin. It is usually characterized by rapid growth, infiltrative behavior, and heterogeneous histopathology, which can make diagnosis difficult and lead to delayed management. It has a 15%-20% occurrence rate in the head and neck and occurs rarely intraorally. In this report, we discuss an unusual case of nodular fasciitis originating in the masticator space and destroying the ascending ramus of the mandible. The treatment involved complete resection of the lesion and reconstruction with a temporomandibular joint prosthesis. At 24 months postoperative, the patient showed a return to normal function with no signs of recurrence.

“…Nodular fasciitis can be found anywhere in the body and male and female are equally affected (Leventis et al, 2010). Location in the head is most commonly seen in infants and small children, but is extremely rare in a neonate (Svrakic et al, 2009). The lesion is usually attached to the fascia from which it arises and extends into the subcutaneous fat in an irregular fashion.…”
