  • Title: Solitary fibrous tumour of the pleura presenting with refractory non-insulin mediated hypoglycaemia (the Doege-Potter syndrome).
    Author: Lee CE, Zanariah H, Masni M, Pau KK.
    Journal: Med J Malaysia; 2010 Mar; 65(1):72-4. PubMed ID: 21265256.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of a 61 year-old man who presented with refractory non-insulin mediated hypoglycaemia. A chest radiograph showed a right lung opacity, which was confirmed as a large intra-thoracic mass by computed tomography (CT) of the thorax. CT-guided biopsy with histological examination revealed features of a solitary fibrous tumour of low malignant potential. We discuss the association of solitary fibrous tumour of the pleura (SFTP) with hypoglycaemia, and the management of such rare tumours.
