The management of periorbital nodular fasciitis using intra-lesional triamcinolone: a case report and review of the literature.
Orbit 2020 July 10
Nodular fasciitis (NF) is a subcutaneous, nodular, pseudo-sarcomatous, fibroblastic proliferation. It is rarely reported in the periorbital region and the management approach is variable. Presented is an eight-year-old female with a three month history of a periorbital mass. Incisional biopsy histologically confirmed nodular fasciitis with a unique gene translocation. The lesion was treated primarily with one intra-lesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide. Four months post-injection, the lesion resolved completely. No recurrence was seen at 12-months follow-up post-injection. No side effects were noted. To our knowledge. this is the first reported use of intra-lesional triamcinolone acetonide as a first-line treatment in periorbital NF. We found this to be a safe and effective treatment, which can obviate the need for surgical excision in a cosmetically sensitive region.
