Hibernomas are rare, benign neoplasms characterized by the presence of brown adipose tissue. Although these tumors may arise in any region of brown fat, they predominantly occur in the thigh, shoulder, back, and neck. Hibernomas are rarely found in mammary tissue, with a higher prevalence in females than males.

Article Synopsis
- * A case involved a young woman with a painless swelling on her mons pubis that was initially misdiagnosed as a lipoma but later confirmed to be EBT upon further examination.
- * EBT arises from the incomplete regression of mammary ridges during development, and while it's usually found in the axilla, it's crucial to consider its presence in other areas if swellings are influenced by hormonal changes during puberty, pregnancy, or lactation.
Differential diagnosis of primary mesenchymal neoplasms of the breast.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the rare occurrence of primary mesenchymal breast tumors, which are less common than epithelial tumors, aiming to detail their histomorphological and clinicoradiological characteristics.
- Out of 26 cases studied between 2010 and 2023, over half were benign (like hemangiomas and lipomas), while nearly half were malignant, with findings like angiosarcoma being observed.
- The conclusion emphasizes that primary breast sarcomas are very rare and recommend thorough sampling and examination of clinical and radiological data to rule out phyllodes tumors or metastasis when identifying mesenchymal tumors.
