Oncogenic Osteomalacia Caused by Phosphaturie Mesenchymal Tumours in the Proximal and Shaft of the Tibia: A Case Report

Abstract: Oncogenic osteomalacia is caused by a small mesenchymal tumour characterised by phosphaturia, hypophosphatemia, decreased serum vitamin D3 level, and osteomalacia. Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumour of the mixed connective tissue type (PMTMCT) is the commonest subtype and usually involves a single site. We report a case of PMTMCT involving the left proximal and shaft of the tibia in a 42-year-old man.

“…OO is a rare clinicopathological type of acquired osteomalacia secondary to PMT. Classically, the hypophosphatemia caused by PMT is corrected after surgical removal [60]. There is a small percentage of tumors within the histological spectrum of PMT that do not demonstrate phosphate diuresis and have been referred to as PMT non-phosphaturic variant [32,37,61,62].…”

“…It secretes phosphaturic hormones, among which fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23 is the main one. [ 2 ] FGF-23 reduces renal phosphate absorption by suppressing the expression of sodium phosphate cotransporter in the brush border membrane of proximal tubules. It also reduces intestinal phosphate absorption by decreasing the production of 1,25 hydroxyvitamin D in the kidneys, which mediates intestinal absorption of phosphate.…”

“…In our case, biochemical normalization did not happen, despite complete surgical excision of the metacarpal lesion after the second surgery. Although multifocality is extremely rare and has only previously been described in four patients (7)(8)(9)(10), persisting symptoms and failure of FGF-23 levels to normalize after complete excision of the metacarpal lesion prompted a detailed reevaluation of the case and the adoption of more sensitive imaging in the form of Ga-68 DOTANOC PET. It is likely that if the latter had been used as the preferred imaging modality at the time of his referral to our service, then a structured approach as outlined above, combining selective venous sampling and biopsy, would potentially have led to earlier identification of the multifocality, although still requiring two separate surgical procedures.…”
