A case report of nodular fasciitis of the parotid gland: An entity of concern

Nodular fasciitis (NF) is a benign, self-limiting, proliferative myofibroblastic lesion typically seen in subcutaneous tissues, muscles, and fascia. NF of the parotid gland is rare, frequently misdiagnosed as a malignant tumour, with the misdiagnosis resulting in inappropriate treatment such as wide surgical resection, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy with sometimes poor aesthetic outcomes.
