  • Title: Mediastinal hibernoma presenting with hoarseness.
    Author: Barbetakis N, Asteriou C, Stefanidis A, Kynigou M.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2011 May; 12(5):845-6. PubMed ID: 21297133.
    Abstract:
    Hibernoma is an unusual benign soft tissue tumor derived from a specialized form of brown fat. A case of a 52-year-old female who was admitted with a slowly worsening hoarseness is presented. Further investigation revealed a left upper mediastinal mass next to the aortic arch. Upon surgical exploration a soft encapsulated mass was identified. Pathology was consistent with hibernoma. Despite their benign behavior, some variants of hibernoma can be confused histologically with liposarcoma. Therefore, long-term follow-up is advisable.
