Abstract

Primary nodular fasciitis of the nasal cavity is quite rare, and only a few cases have been reported. The patient was a 40-year-old man whose chief complaint was a nasal tumor. We suspected fibrosarcoma and operated. The final diagnosis was nodular fasciitis. There was no recurrence at six months postoperatively. In this report, we describe a case of nodular fasciitis protruding from the anterior nostril and reviewed the literature.

Keywords: anterior nostril; myh9-usp6 fusion; myofibroblast sarcoma; nasal cavity; nodular fasciitis.
