“…In rare cases, the tumor can also produce symptoms such as hemorrhage, digital clubbing, hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy and hypoglycemia. When SFTP secretes excessive insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-2), it can cause a rare recurrent hypoglycemia called Doege–Potter syndrome ( 10 ). These symptoms usually gradually disappear after tumor resection, but they could reappear when tumor recurs ( 11 ).…”

Hypoglycemia has multiple causes, but the most common is a complication of insulin treatment. In addition to insulin therapy, tumors such as insulinomas of pancreatic origin and extrapancreatic tumors causing paraneoplastic syndromes should also be considered. Solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura (SFTP) is rare tumor, which when associated with hypoglycemia causes Doege-Potter syndrome. This article reports a case of a 69-year-old man with Doege-Potter syndrome and underwent the first surgical resection for SFTP. However, the tumor recurred 9 years later with hypoglycemic symptoms and implant metastasis. This recurrent tumor originated from the visceral pleura, was more aggressive and invaded the diaphragm and parietal pleura. After the second surgical removal of the tumor, the hypoglycemic symptoms disappeared.

“…Previous reports highlight the importance of SFT associated with Doege-Potter syndrome [4,[13][14][15], showing no differences between benign and malignant cases and that all end up in surgery as an effective treatment [16]. Surgical activities use images such as CT as an aid tool and can benefit from 3D modeling by allowing us to approximate the actual size of the tumor, as seen in other medical areas [17,18].…”

“…SFT causes Doege-Potter syndrome (DPS), a paraneoplastic disorder with symptomatic, severe, and persistent hypoglycemia), being a rare cause (2-4% of cases) of which some cases have been described [3][4][5]. To distinguish SFT from other intrathoracic tumors, computed tomography (CT) is advantageous since it presents as a homogeneous round and well-defined mass between 10 and 20 cm in diameter [6].…”

The objective of the present study is to make a comparison between various free and open-source software used for medical image processing, such as 3D Slicer (version 4.11), ITK-Snap (version 3.8), and Invesalius (version 3.1) in its application for the calculation of solitary fibrous tumor volumes. Knowing the size, shape, and volume of mesothelioma is decisive for clinical decision-making by health personnel when performing surgery; the currently used standard procedure is manual segmentation through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This process tends to take a long time to complete. On the other hand, automatic segmentation software is much faster and more user-friendly, so looking for software that gives us greater accuracy when doing this task is very important. This work obtained magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of a mesothelioma patient, and the images were segmented in the 3 different programs to evaluate the concordance between the software later.

Introduction: Solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) is a rare group of tumor. Even rarer, it is associated with Doege-Potter syndrome (DPS), which manifests as hypoglycemia due to paraneoplastic syndrome. From searching through national reports and articles, this was the first case of DPS in Indonesia. Case: A 60-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department with dyspnea and unconscious. The patient’s glucose level showed 21mg/dL. A solid mass on the patient’s right lung was shown on the chest X-ray. A previous biopsy concluded that the patient had a solid fibrous tumor with a history of profound hypoglycemia. The patient underwent tumor resection and got a biopsy of the tumor. After resection, the patient showed no sign of hypoglycemia, and the blood glucose level was stable. We concluded that the patient had DPS, a paraneoplastic syndrome associated with the solid fibrous tumor. Conclusion: Performing an adequate examination and giving prompt treatments can increase the patient’s quality of life, even though it is a rare disease and hard to diagnose. The patient’s condition, evaluated from a clinical condition, chest X-ray, and blood glucose, was better than before getting radical resection.
