The topic Atypical Decubital Fibroplasia you are seeking is a synonym, or alternative name, or is closely related to the medical condition Ischemic Fasciitis.

Quick Summary:

  • Ischemic Fasciitis is a benign mass that generally forms deep in the subcutaneous tissue following a lack of sufficient blood supply to the region
  • It is termed as a ‘pseudosarcoma’ due to a proliferation of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts (certain cell types) in the body
  • Ischemic Fasciitis has no well-established cause or risk factor; however, it is seen against a background of physical immobilization or confinement for a prolonged duration of time
  • In many cases, the limb girdle or spine bottom is affected. Even though it can cause swelling at the site, no pain is generally noted
  • A complete surgical removal of Ischemic Fasciitis results in a cure and is the treatment of choice. A recurrence of the tumor is uncommon; it can only form when the underlying cause is not addressed suitably
  • Typically, the prognosis of Ischemic Fasciitis is good on suitable surgical treatment, since it is a benign condition
