[Hibernoma: an uncommon adipocytic tumor].
Hibernomas are uncommon tumors composed of brown fat. Their consistency is multiple but usually harder than a regular lipoma. It is a mobile, slow-growing mass. Clinical symptoms are exceptional (pain or massive weight loss). The case of a 26 years old patient who suffered of a cervical hibernoma is reported to discuss the clinical and paraclinical aspect of the diagnosis.
