Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura with Doege–Potter syndrome: Second recurrence in a 93-year-old female

Solitary fibrous tumors are rare mesenchymal tumors most commonly arising from the pleura. When associated with paraneoplastic syndrome of hypoglycemia caused by the secretion of a high-molecular-weight form of insulin-like growth factor II, it is referred to as the Doege–Potter syndrome. Surgery wi...
