Abstract

Oncogenic osteomalacia is a rare condition characterized by a low serum phosphate, reduced tubular reabsorption of phosphate and a low or inappropriately normal 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D and is usually secondary to a phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor. Complete tumor resection results in resolution of all features. We report a patient with oncogenic osteomalacia and concurrent secondary hyperparathyroidism. Serum phosphate failed to normalize preoperatively with octreotide therapy, although this treatment did suppress serum FGF23. The postoperative course was distinguished by marked hyperphosphatemia that was associated with elevated serum 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D concentrations.
