| Abstract | We report the case of a phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor of the ankle; an extremely rare lesion that causes osteomalacia via paraneoplastic renal phosphate wasting. A 41-year-old man was referred to plastic surgery with a swelling over the anterior ankle, which had been increasing in size for 1 year. Focused ultrasound assessment was inconclusive, but excision biopsy demonstrated features in keeping with a phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor. Evidence of tumor-induced osteomalacia was subsequently identified on review of historical biochemistry. The patient was followed-up for 1 year with normalization of serum phosphate. In this case report, we present a discussion of the differential diagnosis for foot and ankle soft tissue lesions, and a review of the literature regarding the diagnosis and management of these tumors. Accurate identification of any soft tissue lesion on clinical examination alone is extremely challenging and excision biopsy should be considered in cases of diagnostic uncertainty. |
