Resection of a giant SFT occupying the pelvic cavity poses an increased risk of developing massive hemorrhage during resection, although surgical resection is the most effective treatment method for this tumor to achieve a potential cure. SFT rarely develops with Doege\u2013Potter syndrome, which is known as a paraneoplastic syndrome characterized by non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia (NICTH) secondary to SFT that secretes insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II). We present a case of a giant pelvic SFT with Doege\u2013Potter syndrome, which was successfully treated with transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) followed by surgical resection.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A 46-year-old woman presented with a disorder of consciousness due to refractory hypoglycemia. Images of the pelvis showed a giant and heterogeneously hypervascular mass displacing and compressing the rectum. Endocrinological evaluation revealed low serum levels of insulin and C-peptide consistent with NICTH. Angiography identified both the inferior mesenteric artery and the bilateral internal iliac artery as the main feeders of the tumor. To avoid intraoperative massive bleeding, super-selective TAE was performed for the tumor 2\u00a0days prior to surgery. Hypoglycemia disappeared after TAE. The tumor was resected completely, with no massive hemorrhage during resection. Histologically, it was diagnosed as IGF-II-secreting SFT. Partial necrosis of the rectum in the specimen was observed due to TAE. The patient was followed up for 2\u00a0years and no evidence of disease has been reported.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Preoperative angiography followed by TAE is an exceedingly helpful method to reduce intraoperative hemorrhage when planning to resect SFT occupying the pelvic cavity. Complications related to ischemia should be kept in mind after TAE, which needs to be planned within 1 or 2\u00a0days before surgery. TAE for tumors may be an option in addition to medical and surgical treatment for persistent hypoglycemia in Doege\u2013Potter syndrome.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s40792-020-01076-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,25]],"date-time":"2020-11-25T13:03:07Z","timestamp":1606309387000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["A giant pelvic solitary fibrous tumor with Doege\u2013Potter syndrome successfully treated with transcatheter arterial embolization followed by surgical resection: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Kizuki","family":"Yuza","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Sakata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiroki","family":"Nagaro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takuya","family":"Ando","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuki","family":"Hirose","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kohei","family":"Miura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kazuyasu","family":"Takizawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takashi","family":"Kobayashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Ichikawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takaaki","family":"Hanyu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yoshifumi","family":"Shimada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masayuki","family":"Nagahashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shin-Ichi","family":"Kosugi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Toshifumi","family":"Wakai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"1076_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"94","DOI":"10.21037\/tgh.2018.11.02","volume":"3","author":"B Davanzo","year":"2018","unstructured":"Davanzo B, Emerson RE, Lisy M, Koniaris LG, Kays JK.
