“…25 Another case was axillary nerve palsy secondary to nodular fasciitis that arose in the quadrilateral space. 26 Third case was presented as a mass in the palm with peripheral neuropathy affecting the digital nerve of the middle finger. 27 The fourth case was ulnar nerve compression induced by nodular fasciitis in the cubital tunnel.…”

Nodular fasciitis is a benign, self-limiting proliferative disorder of fibroblast of uncertain aetiology, occurs frequently in the forearm. Nodular fasciitis in hand inducing carpal tunnel syndrome is exceptional. There are four cases of non-intraneural nodular fasciitis causing peripheral neuropathy that has been reported previously. We present the case of a 38-year-old man with features of unilateral carpal tunnel syndrome. Decompression of the median nerve performed subsequently along with excision of the lesion in a piecemeal fashion. Histopathological and immunohistochemical findings were consistent with nodular fasciitis. There were complete resolution of symptoms and no sign of recurrence at the end of 1 year after surgery.

Nodular fasciitis is a rare benign soft tissue lesion that is often confused with malignant sarcoma, which can make management of this pathology challenging. We present here a case of head and neck nodular fasciitis that was managed at a remote U.S. Naval Hospital with limited diagnostic and therapeutic resources. The aim of this article is to bring to light this uncommon pathology so that it can be given its due consideration in the differential diagnosis from both a clinical and pathologic perspective. However, the more important purpose of this article is to highlight the complex decision-making process that sometimes occurs when evaluating patients within a medical infrastructure that is significantly less than that of a typical military treatment facility or U.S. hospital. Young surgeons and other providers may find this discussion useful before deploying, whether it be to a remote land-based facility or to an aircraft carrier.
