Bilateral hibernomas in the femoral regions of a dog

Can Vet J. 2024 Apr;65(4):367-370.ABSTRACTA 14-year-old intact male Chihuahua dog was presented with masses located between the biceps femoris and adductor muscles in both hind limbs. Based on histopathological, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural findings, we diagnosed these masses as bilateral hibernomas in the femoral regions. The dog had no evidence of recurrence or metastasis of the hibernomas through a 4-month postoperative follow-up. This is apparently the first report of bilateral hibernomas in the femoral regions of a dog. Key clinical message: Bilateral hibernomas should be considered as a differential diagnosis for masses occurring in the femoral regions of dogs.PMID:38562979 | PMC:PMC10945445
