ABSTRACT
Nodular fasciitis is a benign tumor, resulting from reactive proliferation composed of fibroblastic/myofibroblastic cells. Due to its rapid growth and high cellularity it may be mistaken for sarcoma. Despite the possibility of spontaneous regression, excision is the treatment of choice. A 24-year-old female patient presented with a nodule on the zygomatic region with 3 months of evolution. Excisional biopsy was performed. Histopathological examination associated with immunohistochemical markers HHF35, AML and Ki-67 allowed diagnostic confirmation. The main relevance of the case presented is its rare location, suggesting its inclusion among the differential diagnoses of tumor lesions on the face.
RESUMO
A fasciíte nodular é um tumor benigno, decorrente da proliferação reativa de células fibroblásticas ou miofibroblásticas. Pode ser confundida com os sarcomas, devido a seu rápido crescimento e rica celularidade. Apesar da possibilidade da involução espontânea, a excisão é o tratamento de escolha. É apresentada uma paciente de 24 anos, com um nódulo de 3 meses de evolução na região zigomática. Foi realizada biópsia excisional. O exame histopatológico associado à imuno-histoquímica com os marcadores HHF35, AML e Ki-67 permitiram a confirmação diagnóstica. A principal relevância do caso apresentado é sua rara localização, sugerindo a sua inclusão entre os diagnósticos diferenciais das lesões tumorais na face.
