Abstract
DOEGE-POTTER SYNDROME HYPOGLYCEMIA SECONDARY TO SOLITARY FIBROUS TUMOR OF THE PLEURA. REPORT OF ONE CASEDoege-Potter syndrome is characterized for hypoglycemia associated with solitary pleural fibrous tumors. We report a 38 years old woman with a history of weight loss, malaise and edema. After an episode of symptomatic hypoglycemia, she was admitted to the hospital, where  she had new episodes of hypoglycemia. A Chest X ray and scan showed a right pleural tumor that was surgically excised. After surgery the episodes of hypoglycemia subsided. The pathological study of the tumor revealed a  solitary fibrous pleural tumor. After 15 months of follow up, the patient is symptom free and without evidence of tumor relapse.
