title: Multifocal nodular fasciitis of the hand and shoulder: case report.
abstract: We report a case of nodular fasciitis occurring on the dorsum of the right middle finger, the dorsum of the right hand, and the right upper back associated with cortical erosions of the scapula. Ray amputation of the middle finger and marginal excision of the hand and periscapular masses were performed. There was no recurrence of the tumor at either site a year later.
