Quick Summary:

Cranial Fasciitis is a very rare, rapidly-growing mass, which is usually confined within the head region. It has similar features to another condition, called nodular fasciitis
The cause of occurrence of the tumor is unknown, though it is believed that there may be a link with familial adenomatous polyposis (a genetic condition)
Cranial Fasciitis almost only occurs in infants and children. Due to its rapid growth, the tumor is often misdiagnosed as a fibrosarcoma. However, the tumor is benign and often disappears on its own, without any treatment
A complete surgical removal is the treatment of choice, in case the benign tumor condition does not diminish on its own. In such cases, the prognosis is excellent.
