Journal Title: European Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Oncogenic osteomalacia is an acquired, rare paraneoplastic syndrome characterized by renal phosphate wasting and subsequent hypophosphatemic osteomalacia. We report a case of oncogenic osteomalacia associated with a phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor in a 41-year-old woman. She presented with pelvicrural pain. There was also a lateral-left nasal swelling 3 cm in diameter with no other symptoms. BMD revealed a remarkable decrease in lumbar spine BMD (Tscore to - 5.2 DS). Radiologic examination showed multiple pathologic fractures of the pelvis. Severe hypophosphatemia, hyperphosphaturia, low plasma 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 level were disclosed at presentation. Computed tomography of the facial bones showed a large tumor formation of the left nasal cavity in connection with a synovial sarcoma (SyS) confirmed by immunohistochemistry. After removal of the tumor, - biochemical and hormonal abnormalities disappeared with remarkable symptomatic improvement. In conclusion, although an extremely rare disease, clinicians and pathologists should be aware of the existence of Tumor induced osteomalacia.
