Published: December 2019

Hibernoma is a rare, benign soft tissue tumor described in <200 case reports/case series. It is slow-growing, painless, and commonly mistaken for lipoma or liposarcoma. Histopathological diagnosis is must for confirmation. Total excision is the treatment of choice. We present a rare case of hibernoma of thigh, which was initially misdiagnosed as atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcoma on imaging, which turned out to be a hibernoma on histopathological examination.

Article Synopsis
  • Esophageal subepithelial lesions (ESELs) include a range of tumors and diseases, such as leiomyomas and hemangiomas, often going undetected due to asymptomatic presentations.
  • Common imaging methods for ESEL diagnosis involve conventional endoscopy, spiral computed tomography, and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), with EUS being the most accurate.
  • Recent advancements in EUS technology, including artificial intelligence and enhanced imaging techniques, have improved diagnostic accuracy for ESELs and helped reduce missed cases.

BACKGROUND 21-hydroxylase deficiency, an essential enzyme for glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid synthesis, is the cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) in more than 95% of cases. It is an autosomal recessive disorder encoded by the CYP21A2 gene, categorized into classical forms, which encompass the salt-wasting (SW) and simple virilizing (SV) forms, as well as the nonclassical form (NC). The aim of medical treatment is to replace missing glucocorticoids and, if necessary, mineralocorticoids, while also reducing elevated adrenal androgens.
