Solitary pleural fibroma causing IGF-2-mediated hypoglycaemia in a non-diabetic patient.

A patient without a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus presented to the hospital due to a fall and hypoglycaemia on admission. The patient was found to have recurrent nocturnal fasting hypoglycaemia. CT revealed a large lung mass consistent with a solitary pleural fibroma, a rare tumour associated with insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2) production. This case is an important reminder that potential causes of hypoglycaemia should be considered in non-diabetic patients.
