Abstract

Nodular fasciitis is a benign form of reactive lesion of subcutaneous tissue or superficial fascia, mimicking as malignant lesion due to its rapid growth pattern and morphological features. Our patient was a 46 years aged female, presented with upper lid lesion with suspicion of sebaceous gland carcinoma. She was managed with excision of lesion with lid reconstruction by lid sharing method. Histopathology plays an important role to diagnose such cases. The proper knowledge and diagnosis of these cases can avoid unnecessary aggressive management.
