title: Hypoglycemia associated with localized fibrous mesothelioma of the pleura.
abstract: Hypoglycemia is known to be a rare consequence of non-islet cell tumors. A patient having severe, episodic hypoglycemia was found to have a large mass occupying the right hemithorax. The hypoglycemia resolved immediately after surgical removal of the tumor. Histologic examination of the tumor revealed localized fibrous mesothelioma.
