Abstract

Hypophosphatemic osteomalacia first presenting in adulthood is a rare disease. It is characterized by decreased serum phosphate, renal phosphate wasting, elevated alkaline phosphatase, and osteomalacia. The authors present a case with typical constellation of an oncogenic (tumor-induced) osteomalacia, the possible differential diagnosis, diagnostic evaluation, and complete healing after tumor resection. The new concepts of hereditary and acquired hypophosphatemic osteomalacia are discussed helping us understand this rare disease.
