“…9 Lesions are hypointense on T1 images and hyperintense on T2 images 10 ; subcutaneous lesions are well defined and surrounded by fat, and the appearance varies according to the histological component of the lesion. 11 According to the literature, deep-seated lesions are of intramuscular type, with ill-defined margins, and can invade or destroy adjacent structures, including bone. 3 In cases of fascial-based mass lesion, thickening of the fascial septa is an MRI sign to raise the possibility of NF.…”

“…Subcutaneous lesions resolve spontaneously within a few weeks but, if they do not resolve, surgical excision is performed. 11 Superficial lesions are treated by simple excision and deeper ones by wide excision. Recurrence of tumour is rare, and any recurrence may warrant pathological review to exclude a misdiagnosis of malignant sarcoma as NF.…”

Nodular fasciitis is a rare benign reactive process of the soft tissues, occurring predominantly in the upper limbs and is less common in the head and neck region. This report describes a histologically proven diagnosis of nodular fasciitis in a 10-year-old boy, who presented with a submandibular swelling. The magnetic resonance imaging findings, its role in this condition, and the differential diagnosis of this uncommon entity are discussed.

Nodular fasciitis is a benign, reactive proliferation of fibroblasts in the subcutaneous tissues. It usually affects the trunk and upper extremities, and rarely the head and neck region of young adults. It is rare among children and the histologic findings may incorrectly suggest malignant lesions. We describe a two-year-old girl that referred to our clinic with complaints of fever and swelling on the right side of neck and diagnosed as lymphadenitis clinically. Cervical lymphadenitis due to nodular fasciitis is a rarity. We emphasize that nodular fasciitis needs to be included in the differential diagnoses of neck lymphadenitis during childhood.
