MONTESINOS, Manuel R.; MONTESINOS, María F. y IOTTI, Alejandro. Nodular fasciitis as cause of lateral neck tumor. Rev. argent. cir. [online]. 2024, vol.116, n.2, pp.167-171. Epub 01-Jun-2024. ISSN 2250-639X. http://dx.doi.org/10.25132/raac.v116.n2.1561.
Nodular fasciitis is a rare and benign neoplasm of the soft tissues that can occur in any region of the body and require surgical treatment. We report the case of a 41-year-old female patient with a lateral neck tumor which reached a size of 74.7 × 32.5 mm after two years. The tumor was completely removed under general anesthesia. The pathological examination reported proliferation of myofibroblasts, suggestive of nodular fasciitis. The patient evolved homolateral Claude Bernard Syndrome, without local complications and mild weakness of the ipsilateral arm which improved after 60 days with kinesiotherapy. This condition should be considered among the differential diagnoses of lateral neck tumors.
