Abstract

Hibernoma denotes a tumor derived from brown fat. It is an uncommon tumor that has been described onlyin a few case reports and small series. Although it is usually found in the interscapular region, it has alsobeen reported in sites where brown fat is less common. Only a few cases have been described in the neckregion. We report a case of 47 years old man who was admitted with history of a mass in his posteriorcervical region. Upon surgical excision, a soft encapsulated mass was found which pathologically wasconsistent with hibernoma.
