Resumen

Los lipomas son infrecuentes en la mano y representan aproximadamente el 1% de los tumores. Los hibernomas son tumores benignos lipomatosos raros, compuestos al menos en parte por células de grasa parda con citoplasma granular multivacuolado. El estudio por RMN es de gran utilidad, actualmente imprescindible. En la resonancia magnética se observan como una masa heterogénea. La presencia de células inmaduras multivacuoladas en la microscopia, confirman el diagnóstico de hibernoma. El tratamiento quirúrgico es de elección.

Abstract

Lipomas are not frequent in the hand and represent approximately 1% of tumors. Hibernomas are rare benign lipomatous tumors, composed at least in part of brown fat cells with multivalued granular cytoplasm. The study by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is very useful, currently essential. In NMR they are observed as a heterogeneous mass. The presence of immature multivacuolated cells in the microscopy confirm the diagnosis of hibernoma. Surgical treatment is of choice.
