Abstract

Nodular fasciitis (NF) is an uncommon and benign tumour-like fibroblastic proliferation that isdifficult to distinguish from sarcoma both clinically and histologically. In addition, it is a type oflesion characterised by having a potential for spontaneous regression. NF is frequently misdiagnosed due to its rapid growth, rich cellularity, and mitotic figure. Although NF is only rarelydiagnosed in children, the head and neck represent the most common locations for NF amongthis population. The cause of NF remains unknown, however trauma is believed to be an important triggering factor. We describe an unusual case of NF in the posterior ethmoid sinus in asix-year-old boy with no history of trauma. The NF was incidentally noted on a computed tomography scan after the patient complained of a squint. The diagnosis of NF was also supported byhistopathology and specific immunohistological staining. A surgical biopsy was performed, andno recurrence was observed after one year.

Özet

Nodüler fasiit (NF), klinik ve histolojik olarak sarkomdan ayırt edilmesi zor olan, nadir görülen ve iyi huylu tümör benzeri bir fibroblastik proliferasyondur. Ayrıca, kendiliğinden gerileme potansiyeli olan bir lezyon türüdür. NF hızlı büyümesi, zengin hücreselliği ve mitotik biçimi nedeniyle sıklıkla yanlış teşhis edilmektedir. Çocuklarda nadiren teşhis edilmekle beraber, baş ve boyun bölgesi bu popülasyonda en yaygın NF konumunu temsil etmektedir. Travmanın önemli bir tetikleyici etken olduğuna inanılmasına rağmen, NF’nin nedeni bilinmemektedir. Travma öyküsü olmayan altı yaşında bir çocukta posterior etmoid sinüste nadir görülen bir NF vakası tanımlanmıştır. Hasta şaşılıktan şikâyet ettikten sonra bilgisayarlı tomografi taramasında NF tesadüfen kaydedilmiştir. NF tanısı histopatoloji ve spesifik immünohistolojik boyama ile de desteklenmiştir. Cerrahi biyopsi yapılmıştır ve bir yıl sonra nüks gözlenmemiştir.
