ABSTRACT
Nodular fasciitis is a self-limited neoplasm involving upper extremities, trunk, back and hand. The duration of onset is short with rapid progression pointing towards soft tissue malignancy. Fine needle aspiration cytology plays an important role in early diagnosis of nodular fasciitis by correlating it with clinicoradiological presentations. Histological evidence after excision and using immunostains proves the lesion.
Key words: Nodular fasciitis, fine needle aspiration cytology, sarcoma, excision
