Abstract

Cranial fasciitis (CF) is a rare benign fibroblastic lesion of the scalp, most commonly affecting the pediatric population. The authors conducted a literature review and include a summary of reported cases of CF. CF is most commonly located in the parietal and temporal regions of the skull. The majority of cases are found in males and in children under a few years of ago. We describe the clinical, pathological and radiological findings of the first reported case of CF of the mandible. In this case, the patient was a 12 month-old male who presented with a one-month history of a rapidly enlarging mass along his left mandibular ramus. Treatment of CF involves surgical resection and has a low rate of recurrence. The patient in question was managed surgically with no complications and has not had any evidence of disease recurrence.
