Hibernoma, a rare soft-tissue tumor, presents as a movable mass, often asymptomatic. Surgical excision is the standard treatment for this benign tumor.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Hibernoma is a rare, benign soft-tissue neoplasm of brown adipose tissue.
  • Typically presents as a slow-growing, asymptomatic mass, often in the interscapular region.

Observation:

  • Clinical presentation includes a firm, freely movable, nontender mass.
  • Overlying skin may show signs of hypervascularity.
  • Grossly, the tumor is encapsulated, highly vascular, and tan to reddish-brown.

Findings:

  • Microscopic examination is diagnostic, revealing characteristic multivacuolated oval or polygonal cells.
  • Histopathological features confirm the benign nature of hibernoma.

Implications:

  • Simple excision is the recommended treatment due to the tumor's benign nature.
  • Accurate diagnosis through histopathology is crucial for appropriate management.
  • Understanding hibernoma's characteristics aids in differentiating it from other soft-tissue tumors.
