RESUMO
An 8-year-old boy presented with a 6-week history of a rapidly progressive erythematous swelling of the right upper eyelid. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a subcutaneous nodular mass of the right upper eyelid medially with extension into the anterior orbit. The clinical differential diagnosis included rhabdomyosarcoma. A transcutaneous excisional biopsy was performed, and histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of nodular fasciitis. Five years after surgery, there is no evidence of local recurrence, and the result is aesthetically satisfactory.
