متن کاملHibernoma of the axillary region: a rare benign adipocytic tumor
Hibernoma is a rare benign tumor considered to arise from remnants of fetal brown adipose tissue. It tends to occur in sites where brown fat persists beyond fetal life, such as the interscapular region, but can occur in sites where brown fat is usually absent in adults. Clinicallywell, hibernomas are slow-growing, asymptomatic tumors. However, unlike lipomas, MRI findings sometimes mislead clin...
متن کاملHibernoma – two patients with a rare lipoid soft-tissue tumour

CASE PRESENTATION We report on two 48-year-old male patients with hibernoma. The tumour presented with local swelling of the inguinal reg...
متن کاملMetanephric adenoma: a rare benign renal tumour.
Metanephric adenoma is a rare benign renal tumour. We are reporting one histologically proven such case in a 23 year old male from Afghanistan. He presented with severe right flank pain since 3 weeks. Nephrectomy was done and histopathology was consistent with the diagnosis of metanephric adenoma. This novel renal mass has been reported to have benign clinical course despite its symptomatic pre...
متن کاملA Rare Benign Tumour — Intramuscular Myxoma
This report is of a patient with intramuscular myxoma of the right subscapularis. The patient had a history of parotid lymphoma. The diagnosis was confirmed by computed tomography-guided biopsy. The biopsy was positive only when the enhanced solid component was targeted. This information could be revealed by magnetic resonance imaging but not by computed tomography.
