An unusual case of benign hibernoma in the paediatric age group

An unusual case of congenital benign hibernoma, in the submandibular region, in a 2.5 years old girl, is reported, who presented with a progressively increasing neck swelling. A CAT scan of neck revealed a superficial and deep low density mass. Surgical excision revealed a benign hibernoma. A 3-year follow-up shows no recurrence.
