| Abstract |
Nodular fasciitis is the most common pseudosarcomatous lesion of soft tissue. Ki67 was considered as a useful marker for distinguishing some benign and malignant lesions. To study the usefulness of Ki67 in diagnosis of nodular fasciitis, the expression of Ki67 was examined by using immunostaining in 65 nodular fasciitis specimens, 15 desmoid fibromatosis specimens and 20 fibrosarcoma specimens. The results showed that there was a variable Ki67 index in all 65 cases of nodular fasciitis, and the mean labeling index was 23.71±15.01%. In majority (70.77%) of all cases,the index was ranged from 10% to 50%, in 6.15% (4/65) of cases the higher Ki67 index (over 50%) could be seen. The Ki67 proliferative index was closely related to duration of lesion, but not to age distribution, lesion size, sites of lesions and gender. Moreover, the mean proliferative index in desmoid fibromatosis and fibrosarcoma was 3.20±1.26% and 26.15±3.30% respectively. The mean Ki67 index of nodular fasciitis was not significantly lower than fibrosarcoma, but higher than desmoid fibromatosis. The variable and high Ki67 index in nodular fasciitis may pose a diagnostic challenge. We should not misdiagnose nodular fasciitis as a sarcoma because of its high Ki67 index. The recurrence of nodular fasciitis is rare; and the utility of Ki67 immunostaining may be not suitable for recurrence assessment in nodular fasciitis. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 March 2013.
All research outputs
#17,683,485
of 22,703,044 outputs
Outputs from Diagnostic Pathology
#671
of 1,119 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#143,666
of 197,767 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Diagnostic Pathology
#15
of 28 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,703,044 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,119 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.7. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 197,767 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 28 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
