Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Joint associated tumors must undergo histological analysis, since not only inflammatory, but also benign and malign tumors exist in this location. We report a well circumscribed tumor, located in the elbow that histologically turned out to be a hibernoma. Complete surgical excision is the therapy of choice and recurrences are rare. To rule out liposarcoma with hibernoma like changes, fluorescence in-situ hybridisation has been performed and showed no MDM-2 amplification. Hibernomas are tumors of brown adipose tissue that may be localized next to joints.
