Intraosseous Hibernoma: A Rare Entity in Orthopedics With Peculiar Radiological Features.

Intraosseous hibernoma is a rare benign bone tumor derived from brown fat. It is typically found in the axial skeleton and is more commonly observed in women. It can manifest as a painful lesion or may be incidentally discovered. Intraosseous hibernoma often presents as a sclerotic lesion, although it can also manifest as a lytic lesion. Due to its varied radiographic appearance, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of bone lesions as it can mimic metastatic lesions as well as other sclerotic and lytic bone lesions. Therefore, obtaining a biopsy of the lesion is crucial for an accurate diagnosis. In this report, we present the clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings of two cases of intraosseous hibernoma and provide a concise overview based on a review of the literature.
