โฆ Synopsis
Cytologic examination of material obtained by fine-needle aspiration of a supraclavicular mass revealed features that were consistent with a hibernoma. Subsequent histologic study following resection of the mass confirmed the cytologic impression. The clinical, histologic, and cytologic features of this rare tumor along with the differential diagnosis and pitfalls in the cytologic diagnosis are discussed in this article.

We present 2 cases of hibernoma, a rare lipomatous tumor arising from brown fat tissue. In each case, a hyperechoic mass in comparison to surrounding musculature combined with elevated vascularization was highly suggestive of a liposarcoma. As a rule, malignancy cannot be excluded safely by imaging
## Abstract Cytogenetic analysis of a rare adipose tissue tumor, hibernoma, a benign proliferation of the brown fat, is presented for the first time. A complex translocation involving bands 1p36, 2q33, 5q22, and 11q13 was found as the sole chromosome abnormality.
