Effective management of recurrent Doege-Potter syndrome with somatostatin-analogues: A case report.
Cancer Rep (Hoboken)
March 2024
Division of Endocrinology and Diabetology, Department of Internal Medicine II, University Hospital of Freiburg, Faculty of Medicine, University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- Doege-Potter syndrome (DPS) causes low blood sugar due to the paraneoplastic secretion of "Big-IGF-II" from solitary fibrous tumors, which disrupts normal glucose regulation.
- An 87-year-old woman experienced recurrent DPS with atypical tumors in her lungs and elsewhere, and her hypoglycemia management improved with Octreotide and intravenous glucose prior to surgery.
- Somatostatin analogues like Lanreotide may effectively support blood sugar control in patients with recurrent or partially resectable solitary fibrous tumors related to DPS.

Amyloidomas occur most frequently in the bladder, followed by the lungs, trachea and bronchi, larynx and vocal cords, tonsils, conjunctivae, orbits, lymph nodes, gastrointestinal tract, and skin. It is extremely rare for an amyloidoma to present in the chest wall.

Department of Radiology, East Surrey Hospital, Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, England. Electronic address:
Background And Aims: Pleural appendages (PA) are portions of extrapleural fat that hang from the chest wall. They have been described on videothoracoscopy, however their appearance, frequency and possible relationship with the amount of patient's fat remain unknown. Our aim is to describe their appearances and prevalence on CT, and determinate whether their size and number is higher in obese patients.

Intern Med
November 2023
Department of Respiratory Medicine, Tenri Hospital, Japan.
Objective Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) is an important complication of nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD). However, its diagnosis is challenging, as both CPA and NTM-PD present as chronic cavitary disease. The present study evaluated the impact of CPA on the survival of patients with NTM-PD and revealed the key computed tomography findings for a prompt diagnosis.
