Nodular fascitis of hand: a handy review

Nodular fasciitis of hand is a rare entity described in the literature with very less number of cases posing a dilemma in understanding the nature of the lesion. Nodular swelling in the hand with a short duration with rapid increase in the size is tempting to confirm it as malignancy. Sonological and fine needle aspiration cytology plays a role in defining this benign lesion due to proliferation of fibroblasts. Excision is the treatment of choice with no adjunctive therapy required. Recurrence has been found to be very low.
