Summary
Two rare hibernomas, benign brown adipose tumors, were incidentally discovered in healthy patients. These tumors mimic aggressive sarcomas on imaging, highlighting diagnostic challenges.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Pathology
- Surgical Oncology
- Diagnostic Imaging
Background:
- Primary cardiac tumors are rare, with hibernomas being exceptionally uncommon.
- Hibernomas originate from brown adipose tissue and typically present benign clinical features.
- Imaging characteristics of hibernomas can resemble more aggressive neoplastic processes like sarcomas.
