Abstract
The purpose of the study is to describe the rare tumor on 2-deoxy-2[F-18]fluoro-d-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET). A 33-year-old male was diagnosed with high uptake lesion on FDG-PET scanning, which was found to be hibernoma on excision. Hibernoma, originally confused with liposarcoma based on its PET and computed tomography presentation, was excised and correctly identified by pathology. Although found to be benign, radiological and FDG-PET scanning results were indistinguishable from malignancy, and biopsy is required to exclude neoplasm.
