Hibernoma
Diagnosis in short

Hibernoma. H&E stain.

LM large polygonal/oval cells with central & small nucleus; nucleoli typically prominent; cytoplasm multivacuolated, oval, eosinophilic, granular
LM DDx reaction to silicone implant
Gross lobulated lesion, light-brown, usually extremities
Site cervical-supraclavicular, periaortic - both thorax and the abdomen, perirenal; see soft tissue - adipocytic lesions

Clinical history typically young adults
Prevalence uncommon
Prognosis benign
Clin. DDx Lipoma

Hibernoma, also tumour of brown fat,[1] is an uncommon adipocytic tumour.

General

  • Consists of brown fat (present in the infants to generate heat).[2]
  • Benign.
  • Usually asymptomatic.[3]

Epidemiology:

  • Young adults - disappears with age.[4]

Gross

  • Well-circumscribed.
  • Lobulated and light-brown on sectioning.

Locations:[4]

  • Cervical-supraclavicular.
  • Periaortic - both thorax and the abdomen.
  • Perirenal.

Microscopic

Features:[5]

  • Large polygonal/oval cells:
    • Nucleus - central & small.[6]
      • Nucleoli typically prominent.[7]
    • Cytoplasm - multivacuolated, oval, eosinophilic, granular.
  • +/-Prominent blood vessels, central.[8]

DDx:

  • Reaction to silicone implant.
