We report the interesting case of an elderly woman who presented with hypoglycaemic episodes and weight loss. She was found to have a solitary fibrous tumour weighing more than 1.7 kg arising from the diaphragmatic pleura, which had been producing insulin-like growth factor II. After surgical removal of this well-encapsulated, pedunculated tumour her hypoglycaemia resolved and she returned to normal both clinically and biochemically.
我们报告了一例有趣的老年女性病例,她出现低血糖发作和体重减轻的症状。经检查发现,她患有一个起源于膈胸膜、重达1.7千克以上的孤立性纤维瘤,该肿瘤一直在分泌胰岛素样生长因子II。在手术切除这个包膜完整、有蒂的肿瘤后,她的低血糖症状得以缓解,临床和生化指标均恢复正常。
