Popis: This article describes a case of nodular fasciitis with the karyotype 47,XY,+4/46,XY,add(15)(p11.2), t(16;16)(p13.3;p11.2). The presence of clonal chromosomal abnormalities in this case, as well as in three previously reported cases, indicates that nodular fasciitis is a benign neoplasm and not a reactive lesion.
