Nodular fasciitis (NF) and proliferative fasciitis (PF) are benign, reactive mesenchymal neoplasms that can mimic malignancies due to their rapid growth and histological characteristics. NF typically affects the subcutaneous tissue, occasionally involving muscles and fascia, predominantly in young adults, and appears frequently in the upper extremities, trunk, and head/neck. PF, a pseudosarcomatous lesion, primarily occurs in the subcutaneous tissue of adults aged 40-70 years and is uncommon in younger populations.
