Breast hibernoma in a male patient: a rare case report and review of the literature

Hibernomas are uncommon, benign, lipomatous tumours of brown fat. Although hibernomas may arise from any region where brown fat exists, common locations include thigh, shoulder, back and neck. We report a rare finding of a breast hibernoma in a 43-year-old male. The patient was managed surgically with an excision of the breast mass. This report will outline the pathology and clinical findings of breast hibernomas and review of the literature.
