Two Cases of Nodular Fasciitis

Two cases of nodular fasciitis were reported. The first patient was a 51-year-old man, who complained of a tumor of the left submandibular region which had enlarged progressively. The tumor was extirpated surgically. Histologically, a diagnosis was made as nodular fasciitis.The second was a 30 year-old woman. She complained of a tumor of the left lateral neck, occipital pain and numbness of the left arm. The tumor was extirpated surgically. Before histological diagnosis was made, the growth recurred. So the left radical neck dissection was performed. Finally histological diagnosis was established as nodular fasciitis.Some literature concerning nodular fasciitis was reviewed.
