Abstract:

A patient with a supraclavicular mass originally diagnosed as a lipoma who was referred to a plastic surgeon for definitive treatment is presented. Gross intraoperative findings were inconsistent with lipoma, and subsequent pathological evaluation revealed the mass to be a hibernoma (a benign, brown adipose tumour). The incidence, etiology, presentation, pathology and imaging characteristics of this somewhat rare soft tissue tumour are reviewed.

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
