A case of nodular fasciitis is reported. The patient was a 7-year-old boy who complained of a painless swelling in his left zygomatic bone region. On histologic examination, a non-malignant tumor was detected. Three months later, the tumor was removed under general anesthesia. The final histological diagnosis was nodular fasciitis. This tumor was invasive to bone tissue and so bone wax was filled in the defective area of the zygomatic bone. Regrowth of the mass in the same area occurred about one year after the first operation. This distention was removed surgically again and histologically diagnosed as cyst derived from the foreign body reaction of bone wax. The defective space was reconstructed by using his own temporal bone patty. There has been no recurrence for two years after surgery.
