Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura (SFTP) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms that originate from mesenchymal growth in the pleura, tend to be single tumors, usually have an indolent course and show nonspecific symptoms. SFTP can be often diagnosed from an incidental finding of a single mass in the thorax and should be confirmed by biopsy and immunohistochemistry. A minority of cases may present Doege-Potter syndrome (DPS, episodes of refractory hypoglycemia) associated with production of insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2). Both SFTP and DPS are rare occurrences with less than 2000 cases reported worldwide. The curative treatment is tumor resection. Two cases of patients with DPS caused by SFTP are presented below.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
