  • Title: Nodular fasciitis in the oral cavity.
    Author: Haddad AJ, Avon SL, Clokie CM, Sandor GK.
    Journal: J Can Dent Assoc; 2001 Dec; 67(11):664-7. PubMed ID: 11841747.
    Abstract:
    Rapidly growing soft-tissue lesions in the oral and maxillofacial region can represent a variety of diagnoses involving radically different treatment modalities. Accurate diagnosis is important to avoid unnecessary and often mutilating surgery. Nodular fasciitis is a rapidly proliferating fibroblastic lesion that presents as a tumour-like mass. Although up to 20% of cases occur in the head and neck region, lesions of the oral cavity are extremely rare. A case of oral nodular fasciitis is described, and a review of the literature is presented.
