RESUMO
Hibernomas are uncommon tumors composed of brown fat. Their consistency is multiple but usually harder than a regular lipoma. It is a mobile, slow-growing mass. Clinical symptoms are exceptional (pain or massive weight loss). The case of a 26 years old patient who suffered of a cervical hibernoma is reported to discuss the clinical and paraclinical aspect of the diagnosis.

Skin graft is the most common and simple procedure to cover superficial defect. Skin of variable thickness and size is completely detached from its origin (donor site) to cover a defect (recipient site). This simple procedure is the result of a long and eventful technical and theoretical evolvement. The aim of this article is to re-trace the history of skin grafting, from its discovery until today.
