Abstract:
Objective：To discuss the clinicopathologic features and differential diagnosis of proliferative fasciitis(PF) and to improve the understanding of PF and avoid misdiagnosis.Methods：The histological，immunological phenotype and clinical features in 9 cases of PF were studied and the previous literatures were reviewed.Results：PF develops more frequently in the limbs，head and neck.The age of patients is 32~80 years old.The main clinical symptom is rapidly enlarged isolated nodular with or without tenderness and the histological features include myxoid stroma，proliferating fibroblasts/myofibroblast，scattered lymphocytes，erythrocytes and the ganglion-like cells with diagnostic significance.Immunophenotyping，Vimentin,SMA and H-Caldesmon were positive staining in the spindle cells and ganglion-like cells.Conclusion：PF was a benign lesion with rare recurrence after surgical resection.Because of its clinical and pathological features，the PF easily is misdiagnosed as malignant tumor.Therefore，we need to improve our understanding and diagnostic capabilities on PF so that to avoid misdiagnosis.
