ABSTRACT
CASE This case report describes a patient who presented with clinical and radiographic features of a soft tissue sarcoma of the shoulder. Despite having a painless and relatively large mass, a biopsy and resection revealed nodular fasciitis (NF). CONCLUSION:
This is an unusual case of a painless 10 cm mass that histopathologically was diagnosed as NF in the upper extremity with proximity to the axillary nerve and posterior humeral circumflex vessels. The USP6 rearrangement was helpful in confirming the diagnosis. Careful clinical, radiographic, and pathologic correlation is necessary in diagnosing these relatively rare tumors. In cases where there are discordant findings, molecular markers can be very helpful.
