Surgically cured paraneoplastic hypoglycemia associated with solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura: report of two cases.

Hypoglycemia is seldom seen in association with insulinomas, rare autoimmune diseases, and paraneoplastic situations. Paraneoplastic hypoglycemia is known as nonislet cell tumor-induced hypoglycemia (NICTH). It is also known that a solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura can cause NICTH and that surgical resection is crucial to the success of NICTH treatment.
