Abstract
Nodular fascitis is a benign condition commonly affecting the limbs. In the breast, however, it may mimic Breast Cancer clinically and radiologically. We report a case of nodular fascitis of the breast and its conservative management. With the use of cytology, core biopsy and imaging we were able to confidently diagnose nodular fascitis and, therefore, avoid surgical intervention. Recent literature is reviewed demonstrating the benign nature of this disease.Entities:
