Résumé
Oncogenous osteomalacia, which is also known as tumor-induced osteomalacia, is a condition where a neoplasm isassociated with systemic bone demineralization and renal phosphaturia. We report a case who presented with a bleedingnasal mass, generalized fatigue, and cramps in her leg. Excision was done, and histopathologically, it was diagnosed tobe a phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor. The cramps disappeared soon after surgery and she is on regular follow-up forthe past 2 years.
Résumé
Oncogenic osteomalacia is a rare clinicopathological condition. The syndrome is characterized by hypophosphataemic osteomalacia with hyperphosphaturia, low plasma 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and normal plasma calcaemia and parathyroid hormone, associated with a tumor, generally of mesenchymal origin. Complete excision of the tumour results in cure of the whole syndrome. Recently we experienced 56-year-old woman with oncogenic osteomalacia caused by a chondromyxoid fibroma of the left foot. We report this case with the review of literatures.
