Nodular fasciitis of the dermis.
We describe the second reported patient with nodular fasciitis involving the dermis. Our case was morphologically a typical example of nodular fasciitis, but was distinctive by its cutaneous location and recurrence. As in the first reported case, the unexpected dermal involvement caused diagnostic difficulty, despite a typical histology.
