Summary
Hibernoma, a rare benign soft tissue tumor, is often misdiagnosed. This study reviews a case, emphasizing imaging and pathology for accurate diagnosis and complete surgical resection as the primary treatment.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Pathology
- Radiology
Background:
- Hibernoma is a rare, benign soft tissue neoplasm.
- It presents as a slow-growing, painless mass.
- Often misdiagnosed as lipoma or liposarcoma due to similar imaging characteristics.
Observation:
- This report details a specific case of hibernoma.
- Analysis included comprehensive imaging studies.
- Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis.
Findings:
- Hibernoma diagnosis necessitates integrated imaging and pathological assessment.
- Complete surgical excision is the recommended therapeutic approach.
- Distinguishing hibernoma from other soft tissue tumors is crucial.
Implications:
- Improved diagnostic accuracy for hibernoma can prevent unnecessary treatments.
- Understanding hibernoma's characteristics aids in surgical planning.
- Further research may elucidate hibernoma's specific etiology and behavior.

3.7K
A hair follicle or HF is a small part of the skin that produces the hair shaft. Paul Gerson Unna was the first to observe a bulge in the human hair follicle's outer root sheath (ORS). The bulge is present between the sebaceous gland and the arrector pili muscle and is the niche for hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). The bulge is also a niche for melanocyte stem cells, and their loss results in graying of hair. The HFSCs express Sox9 and Lhx2, which help them maintain stemness and prevent...

8.6K
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

3.8K
Lysosomes are the site for the degradation of macromolecules and biological polymers released during membrane trafficking events such as secretory, endocytic, autophagic, and phagocytic pathways. The membrane-enclosed area of the lysosome, called the lumen, contains hydrolytic enzymes active in an acidic environment. These acid hydrolases are functional at a pH between 4.5 and 5 and are involved in cellular processes such as cell signaling, energy metabolism, restoration of the plasma membrane,...
