Abstract | We report a case of tumour-induced osteomalacia in a 59-year-old man who presented with a long-standing history of myalgia, bone pain and pathological fracture of the bilateral femur at different intervals in the past 4 years. A biochemical evaluation revealed hypophosphatemia secondary to phosphaturia. Localization study by Ga-68 DOTANOC PET-CT for adult-onset hypophosphatemic osteomalacia revealed a tumour in the right femoral head. Resection of the tumour resulted in clinical improvement as well as normalization of biochemical parameters. |
