Imaging Findings of Nodular Fasciitis in Breast including Artificial Intelligence Mammography and Shear Wave Elastography: A Case Report
Nodular fasciitis is a benign fibroblastic proliferation rarely reported in the breast. We report the case of a 55-year-old woman who presented with imaging findings that resembled a malignancy. Mammography revealed an isodense nodule with partially indistinct margin in the right breast, showing...

| description | Nodular fasciitis is a benign fibroblastic proliferation rarely reported in the breast. We report the case
of a 55-year-old woman who presented with imaging findings that resembled a malignancy. Mammography
revealed an isodense nodule with partially indistinct margin in the right breast, showing
the abnormality score 75% on artificial intelligence. Ultrasonography revealed an oval hypoechoic
nodule with microlobulated margin, echogenic halo, increased blood flow, and soft elasticity. After
core needle biopsy and excision, nodular fasciitis was diagnosed. Although nodular fasciitis of the
breast is rare, it may mimic malignancy; therefore, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis
to prevent unnecessary intervention. |
