Solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura are rare malignancies, with fewer than 1000 reported cases. They are either discovered incidentally, or in association of non-specific symptoms such as hypoglycemia. The association of paraneoplastic hypoglycemia and solitary fibrous pleural tumors is rare. Hypoglycemia occurs in large tumors and normalizes after surgery, the treatment of choice for pleural solitary fibrous tumors (PSTF). The authors discuss the management of this rare tumor and the association of solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFTP) with hypoglycemia.
