Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2004 Oct;47(4):530-3.

Abstract

Osteomalacia induced by tumor is a rare phenomenon in which the resection of tumor is followed by dramatic amelioration of clinical signs and symptoms. We hereby report a case of a 66 years old male who presented with features of osteomalacia in which the characteristic clinical presentation was associated with the phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor, mixed connective tissue variant. The case is reported for its rarity.
