A rare breast tumor, hibernoma, was diagnosed in a 39-year-old woman via screening mammography and ultrasound. This case highlights the imaging features of mammary hibernoma, a finding rarely documented in medical literature.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Hibernomas are rare, benign tumors originating from brown adipose tissue.
  • Mammary hibernomas are exceptionally infrequent, with limited documented cases in English literature.

Observation:

  • A 4.5 cm, round, partially circumscribed, noncalcified mass was detected in the upper outer right breast during screening mammography.
  • Sonography revealed the mass as well-circumscribed, oval, hyperechoic, parallel, and septated.
  • The mass was vaguely palpable in a 39-year-old asymptomatic woman.

Findings:

  • Ultrasound-guided core biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of hibernoma.
  • This case presents detailed mammographic and ultrasonographic characteristics of a mammary hibernoma.

Implications:

  • Accurate imaging interpretation is crucial for diagnosing rare breast lesions like hibernoma.
  • This report contributes to the understanding of the imaging spectrum of benign breast tumors.
  • Further research may elucidate the specific diagnostic criteria for mammary hibernomas on imaging.
