ABSTRACT

Resumen El síndrome de Doege Potter es un síndrome caracterizado por hipoglucemia severa asociada a tumor fibroso de la pleura. Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 67 años con antecedente por biopsia de tumor fibroso de pleura, quien seis meses después de este diagnóstico presenta episodios de alteración del estado de conciencia con desorientación y documentación de hipoglucemia con triada de Whipple presente. Se realiza test de ayuno el cual es positivo para hipoglucemia no hiperinsulinémica y dado sus antecedentes, se hace el diagnóstico de un síndrome de Doege Potter. Se realiza manejo quirúrgico con resección total de masa tumoral con posterior resolución de la hipoglucemia.(Acta Med Colomb 2020; 45. DOI:https://doi.org/10.36104/amc.2020.1503).


Abstract Doege-Potter syndrome is characterized by severe hypoglycemia associated with a fibrous tumor of the pleura. We present the case of a 67-year-old patient with a history of a fibrous tumor of the pleura, diagnosed through biopsy, who six months after this diagnosis experienced episodes of altered consciousness with disorientation, and documented hypoglycemia with Whipple's triad. A fasting test was positive for non-hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia and, given his history, he was diagnosed with Doege-Potter syndrome. He was treated surgically through total removal of the tumor mass, with subsequent resolution of the symptoms.(Acta Med Colomb 2020; 45. DOI:https://doi.org/10.36104/amc.2020.1503).
