Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A case of pelvic nodular fasciitis, with particular reference to its peculiar radiological and pathological features is described. Only a few cases of pelvic nodular fasciitis are reported in the English literature and at the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of retroperitoneal origin. This report discusses the role of MRI in the characterization of soft tissue masses. No specific MRI findings of nodular fasciitis were identified and MRI doesn't add any contribution to the differential diagnosis between benign and malignant lesions. As a consequence, the histopathological examination is necessary for a definitive diagnosis.
