ABSTRACT
Introduction: Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) is a rare benign tumor (500 cases to date) that can present in combination with a paraneoplastic syndrome called tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO). To the best of our knowledge, it is the first case to date that presented as an orthopedic trauma patient. Case Report: This is a case of a 61-year-old male who initially presented as a polytrauma patient, but further investigation revealed a PMT causing TIO. This report describes his initial diagnosis and management from 2015 to 2021. Conclusion: TIO resultant of PMT may lead to severe bone pain, impending fractures, and delayed or misdiagnosis. This case demonstrates the importance of careful diagnosis and a team-based approach to managing PMT and its sequelae.
