Chest X-Ray was normal. Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the right arm and chest showed an irregular mass in the axilla in the muscular-subcutaneous plane measuring 10.8 cm \u00d7 8.8 cm \u00d7 12 cm, with no neural involvement. Magnetic Resonance Angiogram showed feeders from the branches of the Right Subclavian and Right Axillary Artery and venous drainage into the Right Subclavian Vein. USG guided biopsy was done which showed benign spindle cell neoplasm. Patient underwent wide local excision under general anesthesia. The specimen was sent for histopathological examination which showed histological and immunohistochemical features in favour of Nodular Fasciitis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Most nodular fasciitis lesions are solitary and occur in adults 20-40 years of age.
