Phosphaturic Mesenchymal Tumour of the Sinonasal Area Presenting As Oncogenic Osteomalacia: A Rare Presentation
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumours are rare benign tumours most commonly seen in extremities. Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumour of the sinonasal area is extremely rare. These tumors secrete a peptide-like hormone, fibroblast growth factor, resulting in urinary loss of phosphates and thus presents with oncogenic osteomalacia. Here we present a case of a 59 year old lady with sinonasal phosphaturic mesenchymal tumour and tumour induced osteomalacia.
