  • Title: Peri-orbital nodular fasciitis in a child.
    Author: Mukherjee B, Mittal S.
    Journal: Orbit; 2012 Apr; 31(2):124-5. PubMed ID: 22145964.
    Abstract:
    Nodular fasciitis is an idiopathic, benign, nodular proliferation of connective tissue involving the superficial fascia. The clinical picture of a rapidly growing mass and the histopathological appearance of the lesion often give the false impression of a sarcoma. Commonly seen in the trunk and upper extremities of adults, the lesion is seen rarely in the orbital region. We report the first case of nodular fasciitis involving the periorbital region of a child from the Indian subcontinent.
