Abstract

A case of ossifying fasciitis in a 22-year-old woman is described. The lesion, which appeared suddenly, was located on the tip of the nose. Histologically the lesion contained spindle-shaped myofibroblastic cells, trabeculae of woven bone rimmed by plump osteoblasts within a myxoid stroma.
