HighlightsMalignant pheochromocytoma represent 10% of all de patients.Unique case in the medical literature of malignant pheochromocytoma with negative metanephrines and catecholamines test.Surgical treatment offers the best survival rate and the only chance of cure so far and the goal is an R0 resection.
Solitary fibrous pleural tumor is rare. When associated to hypoglycemia as paraneoplastic syndrome, it is known as Doege-Potter syndrome. The first-line treatment is surgical resection, directly associated to instant hypoglycemia remission. Hereby, we present the case of a 57-year-old woman complaining of recurrent hypoglycemia episodes. Imaging studies demonstrated on the left hemithorax an heterogeneous tumor. The patient agreed to surgical intervention. Block resection was performed through posterolateral thoracotomy. Afterward, the patient's hypoglycemia episodes ceased. In occasions, hypoglycemia episodes can be potentially lethal, if not attended. Surgical treatment may resolve hypoglycemia episodes, digital acropachy, and long-term survival with no recurrence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
