Abstract
Abstract
Background
Nodular Fasciitis is a benign fibroblastic proliferation in soft tissues, which mostly occurs in the upper extremities, trunk, head and neck region. It is rarely reported to occur in the breast.
Case presentation
Herein, we present sonograms of nodular fasciitis in the breast at different durations in three cases. In Case 1, we provided the longest follow-up time in all literatures. In Case 2 and Case 3, we provided the automated breast ultrasound finding of breast nodular fasciitis for the first time.
Conclusion
Nodular Fasciitis shows clinical features and ultrasonography findings are similar to those of breast cancer. For superficially located breast lesions with a single and rapid growth, nodular fasciitis may be considered in the differential diagnosis of benign entities resembling malignant tumors on breast imaging.
