Research paper thumbnail of A Rare Case of Phosphaturic Tumor/Oncogenic Osteomalacia - Diagnostic Challenges and Management Algorithm

Case Report: A 42-year-old male presented with complaints of low back pain for the past 4 years and inability to walk for the past 3 years. Blood investigations showed hypophosphatemia and elevated serum alkaline phosphatase. Radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging revealed features of osteomalacia. DOTONAC PET-computed tomography (CT) showed a lesion in the greater trochanter suggestive of a phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor. CT-guided biopsy of the lesion was done which confirmed the diagnosis. The tumor was resected by intralesional methods (burring and cementation) with correction of hypophosphatemia by oral phosphorus supplementation. Patient clinically improved and was able to walk with support at the time of discharge. Conclusion: Phosphat...

This disorder may cause a predisposition to disk herniations, which may rarely lead to spastic paraplegia. We report a 21-yr-old male patient with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda with progressive arthropathy who developed spastic paraplegia because of spinal stenosis caused by thoracic disk herniations.

Ewings sarcoma can present with minimal pain and swelling of the affected digit. The Erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein may be high. Radiologically, Ewings sarcoma can present with a plethora of features from permeative bone destruction to expansile lesions with or without periosteal reaction. Because of these features, this can be
