A hibernoma is a rare benign neoplasm of vestigial brown fat. This lesion has been called a fetal lipoma, lipoma of embryonic fat or a lipoma of immature fat. The morphologic features and behavior of this tumor should not be confused with atypical lipomas or well-differentiated liposarcoma. We describe a 45 year old female with hibernoma of right thigh.Downloads
