The topic Mammary Nodular Fasciitis you are seeking is a synonym, or alternative name, or is closely related to the medical condition Nodular Fasciitis of Breast.

Quick Summary:

  • Nodular Fasciitis of Breast is a rare and rapidly growing benign mass involving the breast skin and breast tissues, presenting tenderness and pain (in some individuals). This well-defined tumor forms over several weeks and is then observed to shrink in size over many months. 
  • Since the growth can be rapid, Nodular Fasciitis of Breast can be stressful for women as it may raise concerns of a malignant condition. A biopsy of the tissue mass can ensure a definitive diagnosis and help alleviate any such suspicion
  • A complete surgical removal of Nodular Fasciitis of Breast results in a cure and is the treatment of choice. The prognosis of Nodular Fasciitis of Breast is typically excellent; spontaneous regressions have been noted in many cases. Tumor recurrences may be seen in some rare cases though

In general, nodular fasciitis is a benign and rapidly-growing mass that frequently affects the upper extremities (hands). The tumor reduces in size after a period of rapid growth, during which time it can cause severe stress and anxiety to both the affected individual and the healthcare provider.
