INTRODUCTION: Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (TFSP) is rare. When associated with hypoglycemia it is commonly referred to as Doege-Potter syndrome.
CASE: A 51-year-old man was hospitalized for recurrent near-syncope associated with hypoglycemia. Clinical examination and then thoracic imaging clearly showed anomalies that corresponded to a mass occupying the entire left hemithorax. After resection, histological analysis diagnosed a fibrous tumor of the pleura.
DISCUSSION: Solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura are observed most often in patients aged 50 and 70 years. Hypoglycemia is rare, occurring in approximately 4% of cases. It is explained by the abnormal secretion of a type-II insulin-like growth factor. This tumor is treated by complete surgical excision.
