Hibernoma is a rare benign tumor that arises from the vestiges of fetal brown fat. We present a case of interscapular hibernoma. Computed tomography scan showed a well-circumscribed, hypodense mass with peripheral enhancement, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed intermediate high T1 and T2 signal intensities with incomplete fat suppression. Although it is rare, hibernoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of lipomatous soft-tissue tumors. This is a benign tumor with no malignant potential. Complete excision is the treatment choice.
冬眠瘤是一种罕见的良性肿瘤,起源于胎儿棕色脂肪的遗迹。我们报告一例肩胛间冬眠瘤。计算机断层扫描显示边界清楚的、低密度肿块,周边强化,磁共振成像显示中等高 T1 和 T2 信号强度,不完全的脂肪抑制。虽然罕见,但冬眠瘤应列入脂肪性软组织肿瘤的鉴别诊断。这是一种良性肿瘤,无恶性潜能。完整切除是治疗选择。
