Article Abstract
Hibernoma is a rare benign tumor of brown adipose tissue. Herein, we report a case of axillary hibernoma in a 53-year-old female and discuss the various radiologic findings. The US revealed a 4.5-cm well-defined oval heterogenous hyperechoic mass in the right axilla with anterior displacement of the axillary vessels. Non-enhanced chest CT showed a 5.0-cm well defined, oval, and low-attenuated mass. MRI demonstrated a 5.5-cm mass with heterogeneous intermediate-to-high signal intensity on T1-and T2-weighted images and irregular enhancement at the peripheral portion. The patient underwent an US-guided core needle biopsy and the final diagnosis was hibernoma.

Peripheral nerve compression is a prevalent concern for primary care physicians and hand surgeons, with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and median nerve compression at the wrist being some of the most commonly diagnosed conditions. However, for less common nerve entrapment syndromes, it is crucial for healthcare providers to recognize their symptoms and consider potential underlying issues, particularly those related to the brachial plexus. This case report highlights a 57-year-old male who presented with classic symptoms of left median and ulnar nerve compression in the setting of an enlarging left axillary mass.
