Nodular Fasciitis Presenting with Life-Threatening tracheal obstruction in a child

Résumé

Abstract Nodular fasciitis (NF) is a rare non-neoplastic inflammatory tumor and usually presents as a painless, rapidly growing subcutaneous soft tissue mass. The head and neck are relatively common locations for nodular fasciitis, particularly in children. NF in the trachea is a rare and may be a fatal condition, especially with it’s rapidly growing nature that could cause life-threatening tracheal obstruction. We report the case of a child with NF in the trachea with nearly total tracheal obstruction. Bronchoscopy and biopsy were proved the diagnosis, and the bronchoscopic excision of the whole tumor was performed.
