Hibernoma - an unusual presentation

Hibernomas are rare benign tumours of brown adipose tissue. They are usually encountered in young males usually in their third decade of life. A 50-year-old lady presented with a swelling over the right forearm region that was soft, nontender and was gradually increasing in size over the last one year. The patient underwent surgical excision of the mass which was confirmed to be hibernoma (mixed variant). This case is being reported for documenting the occurrence of hibernoma in a rare location (forearm) and in an older women aged 50 years.
