Abstract

We describe the imaging and histologic findings of a case of nodular fascitiis in the maxillary region in a 54-year-old man. The rapid growth and tissue distortion of this lesion may mimic malignant tumors. Therefore, proper diagnosis is essential to avoid unnecessarily aggressive treatment.
