“…Previously, our knowledge of the specific molecules and pathways involved in IGF signaling of human malignant pleural mesothelioma has been relatively incomplete as compared with other malignancies, such as breast cancer. Anecdotal observations from case reports investigating the phenomenon of extrapancreatic tumor hypoglycemia initially suggested that the IGF system was dysregulated in malignant pleural mesothelioma (25)(26)(27)(28)(29); the tumors elaborated high amounts of IGF-II into the serum, inducing hypoglycemia. In an effort to better understand the molecular mechanism for these findings, Hodzic et al (30) analyzed a single such malignant pleural mesothelioma tumor for expression of IGF-II mRNA and protein levels, as well as the IGFR1 and the major IGFBP mRNA levels.…”

“…Angiography is an important diagnostic tool as it can determine the vascular supply to the lesion, which typically enters through the pedicle [77]. Demonstration of the blood supply from the inferior phrenic, intercostal or internal mammary arteries may be a helpful clue to determine the extrapulmonary origin of large SFTPs [28].…”

“…El SDP es poco frecuente, en la mayoría de los casos ha sido asociado a tumores fi brosos intratorácicos, aunque también se ha asociado a otro tipo de tumores intratorácicos y a tumores fi brosos extratorácicos [1][2][3][4]14 . Como factores responsables de la hipoglicemia en el SDP se han postulado varias teorías: secreción excesiva por el tumor de IGF-II (Factor de crecimiento similar a la insulina), falla en los mecanismos compensadores para prevenir la hipoglicemia y acelerado consumo de glucosa por tumores de gran tamaño 1,2,[14][15][16][17] . La hipoglicemia se ha comunicado en pacientes que presentaron concomitantemente un aumento de IGF-II.…”

“…La hipoglicemia se ha comunicado en pacientes que presentaron concomitantemente un aumento de IGF-II. En estos casos, tanto los síntomas, como el aumento de IGF-II desparecieron después de la resección del tumor, por lo que se presume que el IGF-II es producido por el tumor pleural 15,16 . La determinación de IGF-II requiere implementación de laboratorio que no esta disponible en nuestro laboratorio habitual, por este motivo no siempre es medida en los casos de SDP (en nuestro caso no fue determinado).…”
