Abstract

Doege-Potter syndrome leads to severe and sustained symptomatic hypoglycemia and is associated with the solitary fibrous tumor. It is a rare cause, and its diagnosis requires a clinical suspicion and other markers such as insulin-like growth factor II. Here, we describe a case of a patient with intrathoracic tumor and hypoglycemia.

Keywords: Doege–Potter syndrome; Peru; hypoglycemia; insulin‐like growth factor II; non‐islet cell tumor; solitary fibrous tumor.
