'''Nodular fasciitis''' is an uncommon [[soft tissue lesion]]. It should '''not''' to be confused with [[necrotizing fasciitis]]. | |||
===General=== | |||
*Benign. | |||
*All age groups. | |||
*Associated with trauma. | |||

*Inflammation (lymphocytes). | |||
*Microcysts in cellular regions - uncommon - ''discriminatory''. | |||
