NODULAR FASCIITIS OF THE THUMB: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Nodular fasciitis is an uncommon, benign, reactive fibroblastic soft tissue tumour. It is infrequently seen in the hand. A case of nodular fasciitis involving the thumb of a 34-year-old male is reviewed, and its clinicopathologic features are presented. Main significance lies in clinical and pathological recognition of the lesion to avoid over-treatment.
