Cranial fasciitis corresponds to a subtype of myofibroblastic lesion that occurs in head and neck of children with a mean age of 3 years. They are fast growing, can infiltrate neighboring structures and erode bone, so differential diagnosis with malignant disease should be made. This lesions are considered reactive to trauma but the aetiology is not well understood. They are histologically similar to nodular fasciitis but differ in the epidemiology of the presentation, so some authors consider cranial fasciitis a subtype of it. Treatment consists of complete excision of the lesion, but incomplete resections report less than a 2% recurrence. We present a case report describing the typical presentation of cranial fasciitis.
