Nodular fasciitis of the dermis

J Cutan Pathol. 1993 Feb;20(1):66-9. doi: 10.1111/j.1600-0560.1993.tb01252.x.

Abstract

We describe the second reported patient with nodular fasciitis involving the dermis. Our case was morphologically a typical example of nodular fasciitis, but was distinctive by its cutaneous location and recurrence. As in the first reported case, the unexpected dermal involvement caused diagnostic difficulty, despite a typical histology.
