Abstract

Cranial fasciitis is a benign lesion of smooth muscle tissue, connective tissue and some immune cells, in which can appear as a consequence of a traumatism in the skull. It is very uncommon and its predominance involves one-year-old babies, with a low risk of metastasis. Treatment of choice is complete tumor resection and lowest recurrence rate.
A case of a one-year-old girl with cranial fasciitis in frontal region is presented in
this article. Histologically similar to fibrosarcoma, myxoid tumor and fibromatosis, a bibliographic review of the histological characteristics of each pathology to make a good differential diagnosis.
