Objective:

To analyze the ultrasonic feature of nodular fasciitis and to summary the reasons for misdiagnosis and how to avoid misdiagnosis.

Methods:

The clinical data of 10 cases of nodular fasciitis confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed.

Results:

The preoperative misdiagnosis rate of ultrasonography was 70%. There were 12 lesions in the 10 cases

and 10 were located subcutaneously. The ultrasonograms were classified into hypoecho type (9/12) and uneven echo type (3/12). Most nodular fasciitis appeared regular morphology

unclear boundary

and posterior enhancement. Blood flow signals were detected in 8 lesions.

Conclusion:

The understanding of ultrasonic characteristics of nodular fasciitis should be strengthened and close combination with the clinic can improve

the diagnostic coincidence rate.
