Deep Venous Thrombosis Due to a Nodular Fasciitis Tumor Process: A Case Report

We describe a case in which a nodular fasciitis tumor process caused vascular impairment in the right femoral region, two weeks after a coronary angiography in which the right femoral artery had been punctured. Nodular fasciitis is a benign tumor of fibrous origin and has been associated with antecedent trauma. Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) due to a nodular fasciitis tumor process has never been reported previously.
