Abstract

A 40-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital due to a palpable tumor on an anterior chest wall. The tumor was diagnosed with a nodular fasciitis. It is a rare benign soft-tissue tumor which has a characteristic referred to as proliferation of fibroblast, and a surgical removal is the best effective treatment. Therefore, we report this case with documents and considerations after the surgical removal.

40세 여자가 앞가슴에 발생한 종양을 주소로 내원하였다. 종양은 흉벽에 생긴 결절성근막염으로 진단되었다. 결절성근막염은 섬유모세포의 증식을 특징으로 하는 드문 양성 연부조직 종양으로, 외과적 절제가 가장 효과적인 치료이다. 외과적 절제 후 저자들은 결절성근막염을 치험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 이를 보고하는 바이다.
