ABSTRACT
Hibernomas are uncommon benign tumours that arise from the remnants of fetal brown adipose tissue. They are usually asymptomatic and have a slow growth pattern. Intrathoracic and pleural locations are exceptional for localization of hibernoma. A review of the English language medical literature revealed more than 110 cases, 20 of which were intrathoracic. In the article below, we discuss a 40-year old male patient who had pleural involvement and was treated by surgical resection. Following resection, the patient has remained problem-free for nine years.
RESUMEN
Los hibernomas son tumores benignos poco frecuentes que surgen de restos del tejido adiposo marrón fetal. Son generalmente asintomáticos y tienen un patrón de crecimiento lento. Las localizaciones intratorácicas y pleurales son excepcionales para la localización del hibernoma. Una revisión de la literatura médica en lengua inglesa reveló más de 110 casos, 20 de los cuales se trataban de hibernomas intratorácicos. En el siguiente artículo, discutimos el caso de un paciente de 40 años de edad, que tenía una afección pleural y fue tratado con una resección quirúrgica. Después de la resección, el paciente ha permanecido sin problemas durante nueve años.
