ABSTRACT
Two cases of solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) with endocrine manifestations as the first symptom were investigated through comprehensively reviewing their medical history and clinical records. One case of recurrent giant solitary fibrous tumor of the thoracic cavity had repeated dizziness, palpitation and limb weakness for one month. The patient had hypoglycemia accompanied with significantly decreased serum insulin, and the ratio of insulin-like growth factor Ⅱ(IGF-Ⅱ) and insulin-like growth factor Ⅰ (IGF-Ⅰ) was greater than 10. Non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia (NICTH) should be considered in the patient. Another case was found to have thyroid gland SFT and developed distant metastasis. The patient presented with hypoglycemia, hypokalemia and possible consumptive hypothyroidism. Clinicians should improve our understanding of the endocrine manifestations of the disease. SFT may occur in endocrine glands (such as thyroid), and may also present as NICTH and consumptive hypothyroidism.
