  • Title: Oral nodular fasciitis: report of a case of the buccal mucosa.
    Author: Leventis M, Vardas E, Gkouzioti A, Chrysomali E, Chatzistamou I.
    Journal: J Craniomaxillofac Surg; 2011 Jul; 39(5):340-2. PubMed ID: 20627605.
    Abstract:
    Nodular fasciitis is a benign, reactive, proliferative spindle-cell lesion, usually located at the subcutaneous tissues or muscle fascia. Clinically, it manifests as a soft-tissue mass with well-defined margins and fixed to the adjacent structures. Because of its rapid growth rate, rich cellularity and relatively high mitotic activity, nodular fasciitis is sometimes misdiagnosed as a sarcoma. Accurate diagnosis is based only on histopathological examination. A rare case of nodular fasciitis of the buccal mucosa in a 50-year-old female patient is presented.
