Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare fibroblastic mesenchymal neoplasm with an estimated annual incidence of 0.35 per 100,000 individuals. Doege-Potter syndrome is a paraneoplastic syndrome related to solitary fibrous tumor clinically characterized by hypoglycemia, occurring in less than 5% of cases. Herein, we report a case of metastatic SFT associated with recurrent severe hypoglycemia. A 43-year-old male with a noncontributory medical history presented with a painless and progressive growing mass in the right thigh. The histological evaluation rendered the diagnosis of SFT, and tumor resection was performed. One year after the operation, on the oncological follow-up, he was admitted to the emergency unit, manifesting an early-morning seizure associated with a severe hypoglycemia. The laboratory findings of non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia (NICTH) in the background of a relapsed metastatic solitary fibrous tumor were consistent with the diagnosis of Doege-Potter syndrome. Hepatic embolization associated with oral glucocorticoid was an efficient palliative treatment to control the hypoglycemic crisis and allow hospital discharge.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Solitary fibrous tumours are uncommon in head and neck region, especially in the nasal cavities and paranasal sinuses, with most cases reported in the thoracic region in the pleura. It is often considered a borderline or low-grade malignant soft tissue tumour. Complete surgical resection is currently the treatment of choice, though intracranial and orbital extension of these lesions must be carefully evaluated and navigated to ensure a safe outcome. CASE REPORT A 36 years-old lady presented with a long one-year history of left-sided nasal obstruction with facial pain, headaches and mild visual disturbances. She had been treated for sinusitis for a prolonged period. Clinically, there was a left nasal mass obliterating the ostiomeatal complexes and the roof of the nasal cavity. MRI showed heterogeneously enhancing mass occupying the left ethmoid sinuses extending laterally eroding the left lamina papyracea to the orbit, medially towards the right nasal cavity eroding the nasal septum, and superiorly to extend intracranially. After inconclusive biopsies were performed, the mass was excised with a combined endoscopic and open lateral rhinotomy approach with left medial maxillectomy and reconstruction of the skull base defect. The tumour was eventually reported as a solitary fibrous tumour. CONCLUSIONS Solitary fibrous tumour is a rare differential of tumours in the sino-nasal region, diagnosed via histopathology. Although generally slow-growing, these lesions may extend the adjacent structures namely the orbit and skull base. Definitive treatment via surgical resection may be performed safely after careful radiological assessment and multidisciplinary consideration.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a mesenchymal neoplasm that appears primarily in the pleura and rarely in intrapulmonary or endobronchial topography. The authors report the case of a 47-year-old woman who presented obstructive respiratory symptoms for 4 years. The chest computed tomography and bronchoscopy showed an obstructive polypoid lesion located between the trachea and the left main bronchus associated with distal atelectasis of the left lung. A resection of the lesion was performed and, macroscopically, the mass was oval, encapsulated, and firm, measuring 2.3 × 1.7 × 1.5 cm. Histology revealed low-grade mesenchymal spindle cell neoplasm, with alternating cellularity, myxoid areas, and mature adipose tissue outbreaks, as well as blood vessels with irregular walls. The immunohistochemical study was positive for CD34, CD99, and BCL2. The diagnosis was SFT in an unusual topography. The patient’s symptoms remitted after tumor excision, and no systemic problems were evident. SFTs primarily affect adults and often follow a benign course; however, their behavior is unpredictable. The presence of necrosis and mitotic activity may portend a poor prognosis. Endobronchial SFTs are rare but should be evaluated and monitored similar to SFTs at other sites, with a long-term follow-up.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFTP) is a rare primary intrathoracic tumor that arises from mesenchymal tissue underlying the mesothelial layer of the pleura. It usually has an indolent clinical course. The hypoglycemia that accompanies SFTP was first described by Doege and Potter independently in 1930, hence the eponym Doege-Potter syndrome (DPS). The incidence of DPS is reported to be ~4%. In this report, we present a typical case of DPS that was cured through complete surgical resection.
