Popis: This is a case report of nodular fasciitis of the left popliteal space. The patient was a 56-year old man. MR imaging revealed this tumor to be iso or low intensity on Ti-weighted image and high intensity on T2-weighted image and enhancement with Gd-DTPA. Angiography demonstrated the tumor stain and the feeding artery. We diagnosed this tumor as nodular fasciitis because pathological findings didn't appear abnormal with no atypical mitotic figures. It is very important that we distinguish nodular fasciitis from malignant tumors, especially MFH.
