Nodular Fasciitis of the Breast Can Mimic Cancer

Nodular fasciitis of the breast is a benign pathological entity that can mimic breast cancer. We present the case of a 42-year-old female who was referred to our institution with right breast pain for 3 years. Radiology demonstrated a highly suspicious lesion. Initially, the needle biopsy showed a spindle cell proliferation, but after wide local excision, the final pathology result was nodular fasciitis. Nodular fasciitis of the breast is a rare lesion where local excision is the preferred treatment approach, in the proper clinical context.
