Intraneural nodular fasciitis of the radial nerve with rapidly progressive motor symptoms

Intraneural nodular fasciitis of the radial nerve with rapidly progressive motor symptoms

BACKGROUND Nodular fasciitis is a benign mesenchymal tumor arising from fascia that typically presents as a rapidly growing, subcutaneous mass. Intraneural cases are very rare and can present with neurological symptoms, requiring surgical resection. CASE DESCRIPTION A 31-year-old woman presented to us with painful paresthesias in her elbow and progressive motor deficits, for which she underwe...

Nodular Fasciitis of the Auricle: A Case Report

Introduction: Nodular fasciitis is described as a benign reactive proliferation of myofibroblasts. Due to its rapid-growing nature, a precise clinical diagnosis is difficult and the condition is frequently misdiagnosed as malignant lesions.   Case Report: In this study, we present the case of a young woman with an auricular nodular fasciitis as an example of one of the rarest sites of this tumo...

Nodular fasciitis presenting in the obturator nerve and gracilis muscle.

myofibroblasts characterized by a rapidly growing non-tender subcutaneous mass and subsequently self-limited course.1-4 It is commonly found on the upper extremities, face, and shoulder, although it may occur in any superficial location.3-5 Its etiology is largely unknown, but associations have been made with local trauma, infection and inflammation.1,4,6 We report a case of an intraneural and ...

Nodular Fasciitis

odular fasciitis, also known as infiltrative or pseudosarcomatous fasciitis, is a benign soft tissue tumor of fibroblastic/myofibroblastic differentiation that was first described in 1955 by Konwaler et al.1 The lesion often comes to clinical attention when a patient presents with a rapidly growing, occasionally painful, palpable soft tissue mass.2,3 Although benign and self-limited, nodular fa...
