Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a soft tissue tumor of mesenchymal origin involving, most commonly, the pleura. Intrapulmonary SFT is a slow-growing tumor that rarely reaches giant forms. SFTs are asymptomatic and often randomly discovered by routine chest X-rays. The diagnosis requires histopathological and immunohistochemical (IHC) examinations. Most of the SFTs are benign and present an indolent course. Larger tumors are more likely to be malignant and consequently associated with a worse prognosis. Despite having histopathological criteria for malignancy, the behavior of SFTs is challenging to predict. We report a case of giant intrapulmonary SFT of intermediate risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFTP) is a rare thoracic tumor and usually asymptomatic. Massive SFTP may affect adjacent organs and tissues including pulmonary vasculature, bronchus and heart. A thoracotomy for massive SFTP is necessary in severe case. Therefore, it is important for anesthesiologists to understand the condition of patients with massive SFTP and develop an appropriate anesthetic management strategy. A 76-year-old woman with massive SFTP presented to our clinical center and was evaluated as requiring thoracotomy. She received multidisciplinary cooperation treatment from the radiology, cardiac, thoracic surgery and anesthetic teams. The perioperative management of anesthesiologists played a crucial role in the great prognosis of this woman. CONCLUSIONS This case report demonstrates the importance of comprehensive and meticulous perioperative management and provides guidance to the multidisciplinary team on the potential risk and the rational treatment strategy of patients with massive SFTP during the perioperative period.

Doege-Potter Syndrome; A Case of Solitary Fibrous Pleura Tumor Associated with Severe Hypoglycemia: A Case Report in Internal Medicine. Endocr Metab Immune Disord Drug Targets 2023; 23:1562-1569. [PMID: 37357513 PMCID: PMC10548549 DOI: 10.2174/1871530323666230623112047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Revised: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/27/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Doege-Potter syndrome is a rare paraneoplastic entity that is often diagnosed incidentally during the work-up of hypoglycemia of unclear etiology. It is characterized by a non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia mostly associated with solitary fibrous tumors. These uncommon tumors have been reported in <5% of solitary fibrous tumors. Although not unique in its kind, this case is extremely important as this syndrome often conceals unrecognized tumors that can be surgically resolved. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 59-year-old non-diabetic man with a 2-month history of severe and recurrent fasting hypoglycaemia presenting with severe dyspnea and sweating. Further workup revealed low insulin, C-peptide, and IGF-1 levels and a large right in-trathoracic solitary fibrous tumor. Unfortunately, bioassays for IGF-2 were unavailable at our hos-pital. Nevertheless, as hypoglycemia completely resolved after resection of the mass, Doege-Potter syndrome was highly suspected. CONCLUSION Doege-Potter syndrome is a complication of rare tumors. If hy-poglycemia is unexplained, this syndrome should always be suspected, and the presence of un-known masses should be investigated.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumour of the pleura (SFT) is rare neoplasms and consist less than 5% of the primary tumours of the pleura. In the English literature, very few cases of giant solitary fibrous tumours have been described. We report a clinical case of an intrathoracic giant SFT of the pleura in a 62‐year‐old female patient. Additionally, we reviewed the clinical, imaging and histopathological features, the therapeutic management and the clinical course of giant SFTs published in the English literature. For this, we conducted a comprehensive electronic search at the PubMed using the key words giant, huge, big and enormous.

Abstract
Describing the changes in surgical procedures and factors affecting the surgical outcome of patients who have undergone complete resection of giant mediastinal tumors (GMTs, diameter ≥ 10 centimeters) could improve preoperative decision-making and prognostic evaluations. We accessed data from three sources, which are case reports on surgical treatment of GMTs from PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE until June 1, 2019; patients with resected GMT from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database; and retrospective review of medical records in our institution from 2000 to 2019. The worldwide distribution, clinicopathological characteristics, symptom profile, prognosis of patients with GMT resection, and nomogram for surgical outcome prediction are reported. A total of 242 rare GMT cases from four continents (Asia, North America, South America, and Europe) were included. The median age of the patients was 40 (IQR: 27, range: 13–83) years, and the male-to-female ratio was 1.57:1. Dyspnea, shortness of breath, cough, and chest pain or discomfort were the major symptoms at presentation. The prognosis of benign and low-grade malignant GMTs was superior to that of high-grade malignant GMTs. Tumor malignancy played the most critical role in predicting postoperative survival, followed by longest tumor diameter and a posterior mediastinum location. The findings of this study suggest that the number of successful GMT surgeries has increased over the last decade and describe clinical features of GMTs. Physicians should prioritize tumor malignancy as a leading factor in predicting outcome rather than tumor size.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFTP) is a rare disease, and most published case reports are in patients over 40 years old. We report a case of SFTP in a 22-year-old woman. The imaging features were observed using contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT), and histomorphological features were evaluated using pathology and immunohistochemistry. The CT showed a mass in the pleura inside the ninth rib on the left. Pathological results of percutaneous puncture in the chest suggested the possibility of solitary fibroma. The patient underwent surgical resection, and the tumor measured 2.5 × 1.5 × 1.5 cm with an intact capsule. Pathological examination revealed a spindle cell tumor, and immunohistochemistry showed strong positive staining for CD34 and STAT6, consistent with typical solitary fibroma. Although SFTP is rare in young patients, early diagnosis and intervention are needed to avoid the possibility of future complications.

Abstract
Doege-Potter syndrome is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome that is often diagnosed incidentally during the workup of hypoglycemia of unclear etiology. It is characterized by a non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia secondary to excessive production of partially processed IGF-II hormone from a solitary fibrous tumor (SFT). Often these tumors are intrathoracic, benign, and asymptomatic. Occasionally they present as a paraneoplastic event; hypertrophic osteoarthropathy in Pierre-Marie-Bamberger syndrome and hypoglycemia in Doege-Potter syndrome. The NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion is the hallmark of the SFT. Complete surgical resection of the tumor often results in resolution of symptoms and cure in most cases. Here we present the case of an 83-year-old non-diabetic female with recurrent syncopal events who was diagnosed with the Doege-Potter syndrome secondary to a SFT of pleura. Her tumor was positive for NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion on RT-PCR. Following the resection of the giant tumor mass, she became symptom-free within 24 h, and has remained asymptomatic at 4 months follow-up.

Abstract
A solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare spindle cell tumor-derived from mesenchymal cells. It may be linked to the fusion of the NAB2-STAT6 gene caused by 12q chromosome rearrangement. It can occur in the connective tissue of any part of the body; however, it is most common in the pleura. Solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura (SFTP) are a persistent painless mass with slow growth. With the increase of the tumor, there will be corresponding compression symptoms. Pleural effusion is rare, and the cytology of pleural effusion is mostly negative. Occasionally, SFTP can induce paraneoplastic syndrome, distant metastasis, and malignant transformation. Lung function may have mild to moderate restrictive ventilation dysfunction. CT is a crucial method for the clinical diagnosis of SFTP. The histopathological features of SFTP are the coexistence of sparse and dense areas. CD34, CD99, Bcl-2, and vimentin are the most valuable immunohistochemical markers.The positive expression rate of STAT6 in benign SFT was even 100%. Adhesion or unclear boundary with surrounding tissues, pleural effusion or calcification, tumors with a maximum diameter greater than 10 cm, invasive growth, uneven density, metastasis or recurrence, paraneoplastic syndrome, moderate to severe cell heterogeneity, high Ki67 proliferation index, and low STAT6 expression suggest SFTP may be a malignant tumor. Gene analysis on next generation sequencing may help reveal the mutation characteristics of SFTP. Complete tumor resection is the gold standard of SFTP. Resectability is the most important prognostic factor. Age, size, mitosis, and necrosis are considered risk stratification factors for prognosis. Fortunately, 80% of SFTP are benign and have anexcellentprognosis but need long-term follow-up.We report a case of rapidly growing tumor with pleural effusion within 9 months, who was surgically treated and is currently under follow-up. And the literature is reviewed.

Abstract
Localized malignant mesotheliomas (LMM) is an uncommon and poorly recognized neoplasm. Its pathologic diagnosis is often surprising in patients with serosal/subserosal based localized tumors that are clinically suspicious for metastatic lesions or primary sarcomas. Once a tumor is diagnosed as "mesothelioma", LMM is often mistaken for diffuse malignant mesothelioma (DMM). Best currently available evidence about LMM was collected from the literature and cases diagnosed by members of the International Mesothelioma Panel (IMP). One hundred and one (101) LMM have been reported in the English literature. Patients had localized tumors with identical histopathologic features to DMM. Patients ranged in age from 6 to 82 years; 75% were men. Most (82%) of the tumors were intrathoracic. Others presented as intrahepatic, mesenteric, gastric, pancreatic, umbilical, splenic, and abdominal wall lesions. Tumors varied in size from 0.6 to 15 cm. Most patients underwent surgical resection and/or chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Median survival in a subset of patients was 29 months. Seventy two additional LMM from IMP institutions ranged in age from 28 to 95 years; 58.3% were men. Sixty tumors (83.3%) were intrathoracic, others presented in intraabdominal sites. Tumors varied in size from 1.2 to 19 cm. Median survival for 51 cases was 134 months. Best evidence was used to formulate guidelines for the diagnosis of LMM. It is important to distinguish LMM from DMM as their treatment and prognosis is different. A multidisciplinary approach is needed for the diagnosis of LMM as it shows identical histopathology and immunophenotype to DMM.
