Background : Nodular fasciitis, also known as subcutaneous pseudosarcomatous fibromatosis, is a benign, reactive fibroblast proliferation in subcutaneous tissues commonly associated with the deep fascia.<br>Case : We report a case of nodular breast fasciitis found by mammography in a 57-year-old woman. The 4.0×2.5 cm tumor located in the AB region of the left breast was extirpated.<br>Conclusion : Fine-needle aspiration cytology showed numerous spindle cells with slight nuclear atypia and small ductal cell clusters.
