PURPOSE: 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). PROCEDURE: A 33-year-old male was diagnosed with high uptake lesion on FDG-PET scanning, which was found to be hibernoma on excision. RESULTS: Hibernoma, originally confused with liposarcoma based on its PET and computed tomography presentation, was excised and correctly identified by pathology. CONCLUSION: Although found to be benign, radiological and FDG-PET scanning results were indistinguishable from malignancy, and biopsy is required to exclude neoplasm.
