Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are a rare group of spindle cell neoplasm of submesothelial origin with malignant potential and can present as hypoglycemia secondary to excess secretion of insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) from the tumor. Early diagnosis and treatment are very important in such cases to prevent hypoxic injury to the brain secondary to hypoglycemia. Here, we are presenting a case of a 45-year-old male patient, who presented with recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia spells, and later on, it was diagnosed that hypoglycemic spells were secondary to fibroma.
Keywords: fibroma; hypoglycemia; insulin‐like growth factor II.
