Résumé
Cytological diagnosis of nodular fasciitis can be challenging. The main features on cytological smears are bland, round to ovoid cells with fuzzy cytoplasmic processes in a background of focal myxoid change. The cytological features of two cases of nodular fasciitis are described here, along with the cytological differentials.
