Hibernoma: imaging characteristics of a rare benign soft tissue tumor

Skeletal Radiol. 2001 Oct;30(10):590-5. doi: 10.1007/s002560100405.

Abstract

Hibernoma is a rare benign soft tissue tumor of brown fat. Awareness of the MR imaging appearances of this lesion may allow for improved preoperative diagnosis or at least inclusion of hibernoma as a possible benign differential diagnosis prior to surgery.
