Oncogenous osteomalacia

J Cancer Res Ther. 2009 Jul-Sep;5(3):210-2. doi: 10.4103/0973-1482.57130.

Abstract

Oncogenous osteomalacia is a rare paraneoplastic renal phosphaturic condition, often associated with highly vascular benign mesenchymal tumors. We report a case of a 48-year-old male who presented with debilitating osteomalacia unresponsive to standard therapy. Two years later, sinonasal hemangiopericytoma was diagnosed; the patient underwent complete surgical excision with rapid symptomatic improvement.
