ABSTRACT
Localized fibrous tumor of the pleura is rare, slowly growing, benign tumor. Most of these tumors clinically behave asymptomatically, although tumor-associated hypoglycemia occurs in a few cases and lead to hypoglycemic coma. Laboratory investigations show elevation of IGF-II with a 2-3 times higher effect on the blood glucose level than insulin. Surgical resection of the tumor is recommended. We report on the case of a 81-year-old man, who complained of hypoglycemic episodes. Diagnostic evaluation showed a fibrous tumor of pleura attached to the right diaphragm.
