From: Extraordinarily long-inactive solitary fibrous tumor transformed to produce big insulin-like growth factor-2, leading to hypoglycemia and rapid liposarcoma growth: a case report

Fig. 2

Timeline of the patient’s clinical course, including the development/growth of the tumors and hypoglycemia treatments. Tumor volumes (cm3) on CT scans were measured using ITK-SNAP software at four time points. TVDTs (days) were calculated as follows: TVDT = (Ty – Tx) × log 2 / (log Vy – log Vx). Ty – Tx indicates the time interval between the two measurements and Vx and Vy represent the tumor volumes at Tx and Ty, respectively. T0: time of the onset of the hypoglycemic episode, T1: 6 months after the onset of the hypoglycemic episode, T2:15 months after the onset of the hypoglycemic episode, T3: 20 months after the onset of the hypoglycemic episode, TAE: transcatheter arterial embolization, PET-CT: positron emission tomography-computed tomography, TVDT: tumor volume doubling time, TV: tumor volume
