ABSTRACT
The occurrence of hypoglycemia with an intrathoracic tumor was reported in 1930 independently by Doege and Potter. Since then, the presence of a nonpancreatic tumor associated with low blood sugars has often been referred to as the Doege-Potter syndrome. We report a patient with a recurrent solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura who experienced symptomatic hypoglycemia attributable to his tumor.
