ABSTRACT
Primary pleural neoplasms comprise a rare entity, amongst which pleural fibromas or solitary fibrous tumors of pleura (SFTP) form a rarer subset. A minority of these produces systemic symptoms like hypertrophic osteoarthropathy and hypoglycemia. In this case report we describe the key role played by radiology and imaging in detecting and diagnosing SFTP in an elderly gentleman who was evaluated for fasting hypoglycemia.
Keywords: Solitary fibrous tumor of pleura (SFPT); Hypoglycemia; Computed Tomography.
