ABSTRACT
Nodular fasciitis is a benign, self-limited, pseudosarcomatous neoplasm that is cytogenetically characterized by recurrent USP6 gene rearrangement. Involvement of the breast by nodular fasciitis is very rare with only a few documented cases. It can clinically, radiologically and histologically mimic a malignancy, posing significant diagnostic challenges to clinicians, radiologists, and pathologists. In this study, we report 2 cases of nodular fasciitis occurring in the female breast, reviewing the literature and emphasizing the application of fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis of USP6 gene rearrangement in its diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
