Abstract

Nodular Fasciitis is a benign reactive lesion of fibroblast that presents as a solitary, well circumscribed, rapidly growing soft tissue mass. It is most commonly located in the upper extremities, chest and trunk. Nodular fasciitis is rarely found in the Head & Neck region. Although benign it can be associated with a malignant process because of its rapid growth. Hence accurate diagnosis is important to avoid unnecessary and often mutilating surgery. We present a case of nodular fasciitis over zygoma in a 10 yr old child and its management.
