Doege Potter syndrome in patient with solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura
Medical Journal Armed Forces India(2024)
摘要
Solitary fibrous tumors of pleura (SFTP) are rare neoplasms derived from mesenchymal cells of the pleura. A 63-year-old male patient, laborer by profession, presented with progressive dry cough and breathlessness for one month. Clinically he had left-sided intrathoracic mass which was confirmed by CT thorax. While in hospital, patient had recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry of the mass revealed a SFTP. Complete surgical resection of the mass led to left lung expansion and post-operative stay was uneventful. Patient was discharged with advice for follow-up. When SFTPs are associated with recurrent hypoglycemia, which is caused by the secretion of a high-molecular-weight insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2), it is referred to as the Doege–Potter syndrome (DPS).
