Two Cases of Nodular Fasciitis in External Ear Region / 대한이비인후과학회지

ABSTRACT

Nodular fasciitis is a benign reactive myofibroblastic proliferative lesion of unknown etiology. It is classically presented as a freely mobile, solitary, rapidly growing superficial nodule. It can mimic an early mesenchymal malignancy dut to its rapid growth rate and histologic appearances such as high cellularity and mitotic activity. Nodular fasciitis of the auricular region is uncommon. Here, we describe, along with a literature review, the cases of two patients with nodular fasciitis as a tragal and infrauricular mass.
