Core Tip	Nodular fasciitis is a rare benign lesion composed of fibroblast-like cells that occurs at various sites in the body. In our patient, firm nodular lesions were incidentally identified in the mesentery during surgical treatment for colon cancer. Although the lesions were initially diagnosed as peritoneal carcinomatosis, the pathological examination revealed nodular fasciitis. This case highlights the need for all clinicians to know about this rare condition and to prepare for unexpected nodular lesions during surgical treatment of gastrointestinal tract malignancy.
