Hypoglycaemia associated with a solitary fibrous tumour of the pleura.

We report the interesting case of an elderly woman who presented with hypoglycaemic episodes and weight loss. She was found to have a solitary fibrous tumour weighing more than 1.7 kg arising from the diaphragmatic pleura, which had been producing insulin-like growth factor II. After surgical removal of this well-encapsulated, pedunculated tumour her hypoglycaemia resolved and she returned to normal both clinically and biochemically.

Overdose of tetracycline for pleurodesis leading to chemical burns of the pleura.

Chemical pleurodesis using tetracycline is an accepted and commonly employed treatment of pneumothorax and pleural effusions. We describe a case of chemical burn of the pleura in a ventilated 41-year-old who came to thoracotomy after 3 days of continuous intrapleural infusion of tetracycline at another hospital. To our knowledge this has not been previously reported although other adverse effects of this procedure are documented. We suggest that damage to the pleura and underlying lung may occur if excessive amounts of tetracycline are used in attempted pleurodesis.
