The nodular fasciitis is a nodular tumor of the reactive fibroblast developed from fascia. Because the tumor increases rapidly in a short period, the adhesion with fascia is rarely observed, and because it reveals a pattern similar to that of a malignant tumor due to the proliferation of fibroblast in the pathohistological pattern, this disease is worthy of note based on its characteristic clinical and pathohistological patterns.<BR>This time, one case was studied and reported as follows. The patient was a 31-year-old woman, who recognized swelling on the right side of the cheek region from approximately 1 month ago, and received medical examination at our hospital due to the increasing swelling.This tumor was extirpated under the general anesthesia. The tumor partially adhered with superficial fascia. The proliferation of irregular fibroblast, erythrocytic emigration of extra-blood vessel, etc. were noted in the pathohistological finding, and she was diagosed as nodular fasciitis. The progress after extirpation of tumor was favorable, and continued for 3 years and 8 months with no recurrence noted.
