“…NF is most commonly diagnosed in adults, 20‐50 years old, on the upper extremity and trunk, although there is one case reported of a 64‐year‐old with NF on the left medial canthus similar to our case 3 . Less than 5% of cases are reported in children 1,4 .…”

A woman in her 20s presented with a non-tender swelling of the right submandibular gland. Ultrasound was suggestive of pleomorphic adenoma. The histology result of the excised tumour later confirmed a diagnosis of nodular fasciitis which is extremely rare in the submandibular gland. Postoperatively, she has made good recovery. Due to the similarity of the radiological image of pleomorphic adenoma and nodular fasciitis, it poses difficulty in diagnosing nodular fasciitis without cytology or histology of the salivary gland. Although being extremely rare, it would be worth to consider nodular fasciitis as one of the differential diagnosis in future cases of benign submandibular lesions.

“…It is one of the most under-diagnosed lesion and can be confused with spindle cell sarcoma, fibromatosis, fibrous histiocytoma, proliferative fasciitis, benign nerve sheath tumors, and pleomorphic adenoma because of features such as short history, rapid growth, marked infiltration, and somewhat similar histopathological picture. It mostly presents as a solitary, painless, and rapidly growing nodule usually of less than 3 months duration [2].…”

One challenging feature of head and neck pathology is that a dizzying array of sarcomatoid lesions occurs here ranging all the way from reactive to malignant and very aggressive. This makes accurate diagnosis critical. These lesions are quite diverse with great clinical and biological heterogeneity. Some are malignant while many others are benign or simply reactive in nature. For example; at mucosal sites, a well known lesion is spindle cell carcinoma (SpCC), which are overtly malignant, and the differential diagnosis then includes a number of different malignant spindle cell lesions. However, there are several benign or even non-neoplastic lesions that can sometimes be difficult to discern from SpCC, e.g. Nodular fasciitis, Proliferative myositis, Cellular schwannoma, Benign fibrous histiocytoma, Carcino sarcoma, Sarcomatoid melanoma. Fracture callus, etc. Aim of Study: There is a diagnostic challenge to the oral pathologists to differentiate dizzying array of sarcoma like lesions from other similar microscopic simulates ranging all the way from reactive to malignant and very aggressive. This article aims to review the sarcomatoid lesions of the head and neck region with emphasis on differential diagnosis histologically and immunohistochemicaly.

Nodular fasciitis of the face: A case report

Abstract: Highlights Nodular fasciitis is a benign self-limited lesion. It is can misdiagnosed as a sarcoma. Local excision is the preferred treatment. Spontaneous regression is common. Recurrence is rare.
