Nodular Fasciitis Of The Foot: A Case Report

Objective: One case of nodular fascitiis of the foot is reported .Nodular fascitiis is a benign lesion described in 1955 by Konwaller. this tumor has a rapid proliferation of myofibroblastic cells, so this lesion, although benign, can mimic certain sarcomas .

Methods: Clinical, radiological, histo-pathological data of the patient and relevant literature were reviewed.

Results: We report a case of nodular fasciitis involving the foot that was treated with operative excision.

Conclusions: Nodular fasciitis is a self-limited, benign soft tissue tumor composed of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts and rarely presents in the foot. This tumor can be easily mistaken for a malignant neoplasm. A complete excision generally provides definitive treatment.
