  • Pathology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Hibernoma is a rare benign soft tissue tumor.
  • Its cells resemble brown adipose tissue, more prominent in infants than adults.
  • Retroperitoneal hibernomas are exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

  • A new case of retroperitoneal hibernoma is presented.
  • This tumor's cells mimic brown fat.
  • The retroperitoneal location is unusual for this tumor type.

Findings:

  • Differential diagnosis from liposarcoma, a common retroperitoneal tumor, is crucial.
  • Hibernoma exhibits high vascularity, aiding in its distinction from liposarcoma.
