Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumor is an uncommon mesenchymal lesion, seldom associated with hypoglycemia and rarely presents as a perirenal mass. We describe a p erirenal solitary fibrous tumor presenting as a renal mass associated with recurrent hypoglycemic events that resolved after nephrectomy. We discuss t he diagnosis, endocrine evaluation and mechanism of the associated hypoglyc emia of the solitary fibrous tumor.
