AI Article Synopsis
- Solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs) are rare tumors, occurring in about 2.8 per 100,000 people, with only 1% found in the female genital area.
- Doege-Potter syndrome, affecting 5%-10% of SFT cases, leads to hypoglycemia caused by the tumor producing a protein similar to insulin.
- This text discusses a confirmed case of female pelvic SFT associated with Doege-Potter syndrome and includes a review of existing literature.
Article Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs) are a rare mesenchymal neoplasm with an incidence of 2.8 per 100 000 of which only 1% occur in the female genital tract. Doege-Potter syndrome is a paraneoplastic phenomenon associated with approximately 5%-10% of SFTs and is characterised by non-islet cell hypoglycaemia due to tumour production of low molecular weight insulin-like growth factor-II. We present the fourth confirmed case of female pelvic SFT with Doege-Potter syndrome and a literature review.
