Ultrasound Diagnosis of Nodular Fasciitis at Different Anatomical Levels in Soft Tissue
Objective:To analyze the auxiliary diagnostic value of ultrasound in nodular fasciitis at different anatomical levels of soft tissue.Methods:A total of 46 patients with nodular fasciitis admitted to our hospital from February 2017 to April 2023 were selected as the study subjects.All patients underwent ultrasound examination and had pathological diagnostic data.The ultrasound and pathological diagnostic data of all patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the 46 patients,there were 36 cases of superficial fascial nodular fasciitis and 10 cases of intramuscular nodular fasciitis.The overall accuracy of ultrasound in diagnosing nodular fasciitis at different anatomical levels of soft tissue was 86.95%(40/46),and the accuracy of ultrasound diagnosis in patients with superficial fascial nodular fasciitis was higher than that in patients with intramuscular nodular fasciitis,with statistical significance(P<0.05).Patients with superficial fascial nodular fasciitis had smaller lesions than those with intramuscular nodular fasci-itis,and had a higher proportion of regular morphology and no blood flow signal.Data analysis showed sta-tistical significance(P<0.05).Conclusion:Ultrasound has important reference value in the diagnosis and differentiation of nodular fasciitis at different anatomical levels in soft tissue,and can be used as one of the important auxiliary diagnostic methods.
