Resumen

El hibernoma es un tumor muy infrecuente que se cree deriva de los vestigios de la grasa parda fetal. El término hibernoma deriva de la similitud microscópica de este tumor con el tejido glandular de grasa parda que se encuentra en los órganos de hibernación de ciertas especies animales. Hay descritos aproximadamente 100 hibernomas en la literatura mundial, de los cuales sólo un reducido número aparecen en el cuello. Presentamos el caso de un paciente varón de 33 años con una masa laterocervical derecha asintomática de 20 meses de evolución.

Abstract

The hibernoma is an uncommon benign tumor thought to arise from the vestiges of the fetal brown fat. The term hibernoma is derived from the microscopic similarity of this tumor to the glandular brown adipose tissue occurring in the organs of hibernation of certain animal species. There are reported about 100 hibernomas in the literature world wide and only a small number of them are in the neck. We report the case of a 33 years old male with a 20 months history of a painless mass in his right neck.
