Nodular fasciitis and proliferative myositis as variants of one disease entity

P Meister et al. Invest Cell Pathol. 1979 Oct-Dec.

Abstract

The concept of nodular fasciitis and proliferative myositis as variants of the same fibroblastic disorder is supported by intermediary cases, showing simultaneous features thought to be typical of either nodular fasciitis or proliferative myositis. Various other anatomical, pathological and clinical similarities found in this study of 100 cases support such conclusions. 'Ganglion-like' cells were a distinct, but not exclusive, feature of all cases with sole, or only partial, muscle involvement.
