Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Thoracic Surgery

Background:

  • Hibernoma is a rare, benign soft-tissue tumor originating from brown adipose tissue.
  • These tumors typically present as slow-growing, painless masses, with approximately 100 cases reported globally.
  • Intrathoracic hibernomas are exceptionally rare, with only seven cases documented, and mediastinal involvement being even less common.
