Key Points

  • To explore the occurrence of Doege-Potter syndrome in the relapse of solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura.
  • Case report of Doege-Potter syndrome in a solitary fibrous tumor relapse in Colombia.
  • Assessment of tumor size, histopathologic aspects, mitotic index, and immunohistochemical markers.
  • Evaluation of malignancy risks in relapse settings.
  • Doege-Potter syndrome was observed in a benign relapse of a solitary fibrous tumor.
  • Malignant transformation was ruled out based on tumor characteristics and markers.
  • The case represents a unique occurrence in Colombia.

Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumors are mesenchymal neoplasms that make up 2% of soft tissue tumors. Doege-Potter syndrome (DPS) occurs between 5-10% of patients with solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFTP). Little is mentioned about DPS in the relapse setting, where malignant transformation should always be ruled out (until 12% of cases) according to tumor size, histopathologic aspects (including mitotic index) and immunohistochemical markers. This is the first case of Doege-Potter syndrome in the setting of a fibrous tumor relapse of the pleura without malignant transformation described in Colombia.
