title: Intrathoracic hibernoma: report of two cases.
abstract: Hibernomas are uncommon benign soft tissue tumours mimicking brown fat. The most common anatomic locations include the neck, axilla, mediastinum, periaortic and perirenal zones. Intrathoracic and in particular pleural locations are exceptional. We report two cases of intrathoracic hibernoma with pleural involvement treated by surgical resection.
