[Hibernoma of the forearm].
Hibernomas are rare benign tumours originating from the brown fat found in the foetus and animals that hibernate. In most cases they present as a slowly growing painful mass situated in those regions where this type of fat persists in the adult. We report a case of hibernoma of the forearm, which is an unusual localization, and we review the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this of tumour whose main differential diagnosis is liposarcoma.
