Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is an uncommon slow-growing mesenchymal neoplasm. It usually involves the visceral pleural and rarely has an intrapulmonary distribution. It is very sharp and round in shape when appearing intrapulmonarily. About 4% of SFT has hypoglycemia as a part of the paraneoplastic syndrome. We report a case of solitary pulmonary fibrous tumor with the presentation of hypoglycemia. After complete resection of the tumor, the blood sugar returned to normal range. Imaging pictures of the solitary pulmonary fibrous tumor and the mechanism of hypoglycemia caused by SFT are discussed.
