Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Hibernoma is a rare benign soft tissue neoplasm originating from brown adipose tissue.
  • Understanding the clinical presentation and imaging characteristics is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • A 42-year-old male presented with a progressively enlarging soft tissue mass in the left medial thigh.
  • Radiographic evaluation included computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.
  • An open biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of hibernoma.

Findings:

  • The soft tissue mass was surgically excised with a margin of healthy tissue.
  • Postoperative recovery was uneventful.
  • The case contributes to the existing literature on hibernoma, with nearly 100 cases reported.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering hibernoma in the differential diagnosis of soft tissue tumors.
  • Accurate MR imaging characterization aids in preoperative diagnosis and surgical planning.
  • Complete surgical excision is curative for benign hibernomas.
