Nodular fasciitis in the head\/neck region is rarely found and only 2 previous cases affecting the tongue have been reported.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods and Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The purpose of this study was for us to report a very rare case of a 67\u2010year\u2010old man with a history of a 3\u2010month subepithelial asymptomatic nodule of the tongue tip with an ulcerated surface. An excisional biopsy of the mass was performed with 0.5\u2010mm surgical margins.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The clinical and histological features of nodular fasciitis may mimic a head and neck malignancy, but it is often misdiagnosed as a malignant mesenchymal neoplasm. Even if it is a rare entity, nodular fasciitis should be considered in cases of rapidly growing masses of the head and neck region. \u00a9 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. <jats:italic>Head Neck<\/jats:italic> 38: E29\u2013E31, 2016<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hed.24088","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,20]],"date-time":"2015-04-20T22:52:47Z","timestamp":1429570367000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Nodular fasciitis of the tongue"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Antonio","family":"Celentano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosciences Reproductive, and Odontostomatological Sciences, University of Naples Federico II Naples Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Massimo","family":"Mascolo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Advanced Biomedical Sciences Pathology Section, University of Naples Federico II Naples Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gaetano","family":"De Rosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Advanced Biomedical Sciences Pathology Section, University of Naples Federico II Naples Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michele Davide","family":"Mignogna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosciences Reproductive, and Odontostomatological Sciences, University of Naples Federico II Naples Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_4_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcp\/25.3.241"},{"key":"e_1_2_4_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcp\/35.2.122"},{"key":"e_1_2_4_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(19820415)49:8<1668::AID-CNCR2820490823>3.0.CO;2-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_4_5_1","first-page":"113","article-title":"Fibromatosis of the oral cavity","volume":"29","author":"Takagi M","year":"1982","journal-title":"Bull Tokyo Med Dent Univ"},{"key":"e_1_2_4_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/joms.2002.35037"},{"key":"e_1_2_4_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12105-011-0289-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_4_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2012.05.018"},{"key":"e_1_2_4_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-0347(199810)20:7<645::AID-HED12>3.0.CO;2-C"}],"container-title":["Head &amp; Neck"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1002%2Fhed.24088","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/hed.24088","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,4]],"date-time":"2023-10-04T01:26:28Z","timestamp":1696382788000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/hed.24088"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,18]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2016,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/hed.24088"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/hed.24088","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1043-3074","1097-0347"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1043-3074","type":"print"},{"value":"1097-0347","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,18]]}}}
