Fasciite nodulaire de la fosse infra-temporale: à propos d’un cas

Nodular fasciitis is a benign lesion characterized by a rapidly growing proliferation of myofibroblastic cells which develop at the expense of a muscular fascia inside the subcutaneous tissue. It is often confused with sarcoma due to its rapid growth and its cellular and mitotic richness. Hence, the importance of accurate diagnosis to avoid unnecessary and often mutilating surgeries. This study presents a case of nodular fasciitis arising in an uncommon site, the infratemporal fossa.
