Left Posterior Chest Wall Reconstruction Using Prolene Mesh Following Excision Of Nodular Fasciitis A Case Report
Journal Title: National Journal of Integrated Research in Medicine - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Nodular Fasciitis (NF) is a benign, self-limiting condition that is characterized by myofibroblast / fibroblast proliferation. It is commonly found in the trunk, upper limbs (volar aspect of the forearm), and the back. Patient who are diagnosed with this condition typically presents with a history of rapidly enlarging subcutaneous mass over several weeks or months [1]. NF often mimicks a malignant process due to its rapid growth clinically, its high mitotic activity and cellularity and nonspecific cytomorphologic findings which makes it diagnosis pretty challenging. We describe a case of NF of the left posterior chest wall that presented to us and underwent wide local excision followed by chest wall reconstruction using a prolene mesh.
