ABSTRACT
Nodular fasciitis is a reactive, non-neoplastic lesion that is most commonly found in the subcutaneous or superficial fascia of the extremities and trunk. Head and neck lesions are relatively uncommon and reports vary from 7% to 15% depending on the authors. Nodular fasciitis grows quickly, and shows a pleomorphic spindle cell pattern with increased mitotic activity. Such factors lead to cases where the lesion is mistaken for a malignancy such as fibrosarcoma and the case may end up with unnecessarily aggressive treatments. The intent of this paper is to report a relatively rare case of nodular fasciitis occurring in the periorbital area and also to highlight the importance of accurate diagnosis and non-aggressive management of this benign lesion.
