Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare neoplasms initially identified as "localized fibrous mesothelioma" predominantly found in the pleural cavity. Common clinical manifestations include pain, the presence of a palpablemass, as well as neurological or vascular symptoms. Tumors located in the abdomen or pelvis can exert pressure on adjacent structures, leading to symptoms such as urinary obstruction or retention, bowel obstruction or constipation, and abdominal distention. Doege-Potter syndrome is characterized by hypoglycemia resulting from excessive production of insulin-like growth factors by the tumor. We report the case of a 54-year-old male patient, diagnosed with type II diabetes 8 years ago, currently not undergoing any treatment, Admitted for investigation of recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia.
