Abstract
A 40-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital due to a palpable tumor on an anterior chest wall. The tumor was diagnosed with a nodular fasciitis. It is a rare benign soft-tissue tumor which has a characteristic referred to as proliferation of fibroblast, and a surgical removal is the best effective treatment. Therefore, we report this case with documents and considerations after the surgical removal.
