We report a case of fasciitis ossificans of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus in an infant who was surgically treated in our department. Fasciitis ossificans is a rare benign reactive lesion and a variant of the more commonly known entity nodular fasciitis. We present the radiographic appearance and discuss the surgical resection, which was performed by a paranasal section, as well as the histologic and immunohistochemical results. To the best of our knowledge, no other case of fasciitis ossificans of the paranasal sinus has yet been reported. It is important to publish cases such as this, because their recognition as benign entities can prevent aggressive surgical procedures.

Background: Fasciitis ossificans is a rare subtype of nodular fasciitis, a benign soft tissue tumor with reactive characteristics. Due to its rapid growth, it is often misdiagnosed as a malignant tumor. While fasciitis ossificans commonly originates from the subcutaneous tissue and can appear throughout the body, it may also arise from extraordinary sites.

() rearrangements have been identified in aneurysmal bone cyst, nodular fasciitis, myositis ossificans, fibro-osseous pseudotumour of digits and cellular fibroma of tendon sheath. These entities show clinical as well as histological overlap, suggesting they are all clonal neoplastic belonging to the same biological spectrum and referred to as '-associated neoplasms'. They all show a characteristic gene fusion formed by juxtaposition of the coding sequences to the promoter regions of several partner genes, leading to transcriptional upregulation.

Palpable tumors in children are a common reason for consulting a radiologist. The origin of these lesions varies widely, and although they are common, classic radiology books do not cover some of them. This series of two articles aims to review the clinical and radiological characteristics of a selection of palpable tumors in children that radiologists need to be familiar with.
