Résumé

Nodular fasciitis (NF) is a benign proliferation of fibroblast tissue of unknown etiology. It has clinical and histopathological characteristics similar to sarcomas, and is unusual in the maxillofacial area. The usual clinical presentation is a hard consistency, painless and fast growing mass of a hard consistency. Diagnosis is made by a biopsy and histopathology. NF treatment is complete surgical excision of the tumor. The differential diagnosis is essential for the high potential of confusion with sarcomatous lesions, due to the similarity of their clinical and histopathological features. The second case of nodular fasciitis in the frontal region to be reported in the literature is presented, a 43 year-old male, with no previous trauma in the region. Biopsy-excision of the mass was performed and the histological study gave the diagnosis of nodular fasciitis. The patient had no evidence of tumor recurrence and excellent aesthetic results were obtained.
