This summary is machine-generated.Hibernomas, rare brown adipose tissue tumors, present diagnostic challenges. This case highlights MRI and biopsy
Area Of Science
- Oncology
- Pathology
- Radiology
Background
- Hibernomas are rare benign tumors of brown adipose tissue.
- They can pose diagnostic challenges due to infrequent occurrence and slow growth.
Observation
- A 38-year-old woman presented with a progressively enlarging chest wall mass, exacerbated by pregnancy.
- Initial radiological evaluations (X-ray, MRI) were inconclusive.
Findings
- Ultrasound-guided needle aspiration biopsy confirmed hibernoma histopathology.
- Complete surgical excision with negative margins resulted in full recovery.
Implications
- This case emphasizes considering hibernoma in adipose tissue tumor differentials, especially with atypical presentations.
- Accurate diagnosis and management rely on advanced imaging (MRI) and biopsy.
- Reporting such cases improves awareness and clinical management of this rare tumor.
