Title: Nodular fasciitis. Author: Cyriac MJ, Celine MI, Kurien G, Puthiode U. Journal: Indian J Dermatol Venereol Leprol; 2004; 70(4):239-41. PubMed ID: 17642624. Abstract: A 24-year-old female presented with a firm, hyperpigmented, and gradually enlarging, tender, solitary dermal nodule of non-traumatic origin over the right suprascapular region. The lesion was extending into the subcutaneous tissue. She was otherwise normal. There was no calcification on X-ray. Biopsy revealed numerous large pleomorphic fibroblasts in a mucoid ground substance diagnostic of nodular fasciitis. No recurrence was noticed after surgical excision. This case is reported because of its rarity in the Indian medical literature.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
