Abstract
- Doege–Potter syndrome (DPS) is a very rare paraneoplastic condition that is marked by hypoglycemia brought on by a solitary fibrous tumor rather than an islet cell tumor. Soft tissue neoplasms termed as solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare and these tumors vary in the site of origin, from the pleural cavity, mediastinum, pericardium, retroperitoneal spaces, liver, thyroid, orbit, bladder, intestines, and soft tissues, while pelvic‐derived fibrous tumors are incredibly unusual. There are currently extremely few documented cases and literature reviews both domestically and internationally. In this case study, we present an 82‐year‐old woman who developed DPS as a result of malignant pelvic SFTs. Her hypoglycemia was clinically healed after she underwent laparoscopic retroperitoneal tumor resection in our institution, and thereafter, her quality of life improved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
