Tumor‐induced osteomalacia in an adolescent with an undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver

Abstract: LETTER TO THE EDITOR tubulopathy, with elevated FGF-23 levels supported diagnosis in our case.Treatment of the tumor is crucial for the resolution of osteomalacia, symptoms, and laboratory abnormalities. 1,2 A rapid decrease of FGF-23 level occurs after successful removal of the tumor. 12 Persistent or increasing FGF levels warn that an incomplete resection or a relapse exists. TIO is an uncommon paraneoplastic syndrome for pediatric oncologists. Diagnosis can be delayed due to nonspecific symptoms and difficu… Show more

“…As stated previously, it is associated with benign mesenchymal tumors in the vast majority of cases, approximately 90% ( 3). Yet, it is well-documented that malignant tumors, most notably sarcomas, also have the capacity to induce this condition (15)(16)(17)(18) In cases lacking an initial biopsy, as in the patient under discussion, it becomes challenging to conclusively determine the tumor's original nature. It remains uncertain whether the initial tumor was benign and subsequently underwent malignant transformation, or if the neoplasm was inherently sarcomatous.…”
