A hibernoma is a benign neoplasm of vestigial brown fat. They were first described under the name ‘pseudolipoma’ by the German physician H. Merkel in 1906 and the term hibernoma was proposed by the French anatomist Louis Gery in 1914 because of its resemblance to brown fat in hibernating animals. [1][2][3]
