Abstract
- Nodular fasciitis, a benign soft tissue tumor consisting of myofibroblastic proliferation, is commonly located in the subcutaneous or inter- or intra-muscular layer of extremites. Intra-articular nodular fasciitis is extremely rare. We report a case of MRI findings of a nodular fasciitis in the knee of a 13-year-old boy which was removed by arthroscopic surgery and pathologically confirmed.
