Nodular Fasciitis of the Finger and Hand: Case Report

Nodular fasciitis involving the palm

“…Peripheral neuropathy is an unusual symptom in NF. 5,6 Furthermore, in our patients, the tumour arose in the palm and lesions distal to the wrist are rare. For this reason, NF was not considered initially as a differential diagnosis.…”

“…Only 18 cases have been reported in the English literature. 3,6,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] A third of these patients (n=6, 33%) suffered from pain or tenderness. In NF involving the palm, such symptoms appear to be less frequent than in other locations.…”

An aggressive nodular fasciitis lesion protruding from the palm (USP6 gene fusion helps differentiate from sarcomas): A case report

“…The relationship between the malignant potential of nodular fasciitis and its oncogenic mechanism is currently being intensively investigated (4). In contrast, some nodular fasciitis lesions are self-limiting and spontaneously regress (7,8). Guo et al reported a case of 'malignant nodular fasciitis', which recurred several times and even metastasized to soft tissues (4).…”

“…As for the treatment of nodular fasciitis lesions, surgical excision is usually curative. Some clinicians recommend that nodular fasciitis lesions should initially be observed because of the self-limiting nature of the disease (8). We recommend excising such lesions, especially when they are symptomatic, and marginal resection seems to be sufficient for achieving local control.…”

Intra–muscular Nodular Fasciitis Presenting as Swelling in Neck: Challenging Entity for Diagnosis

“…It was first described earlier as subcutaneous pseudosarcomatous fibromatosis. Subsequent reports confirmed the benign nature of this proliferation, and this disease was renamed as pseudosarcomatous fasciitis, which was later changed to nodular fasciitis [1]. Nodular fasciitis is defined by the World Health Organization as a benign and reactive fibroblastic growth extending from the superficial fascia into the subcutaneous tissue or muscle.…”
