Tumor-induced Osteomalacia Mimics Osteoporosis: Case Report

並列摘要


Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic disorder in which a neoplasm causes systemic bone demineralization. Most cases are benign, but malignant neoplasms have been reported. The prognosis is good if diagnosis is made early and treatment is adequate.We present the case of a previously healthy 40-year-old man who presented with low back pain for the previous year. The initial diagnosis was osteoporosis, but treatment with osteoporosis medications led to no significant improvement. Hypophosphatemia was found incidentally. Positron emission tomography with 18F fluoro-deoxyglucose (FDG-PET) indicated increased FDG uptake over the inner aspect of the right thigh, leading to a diagnosis of TIO. After resection of the tumor, the patient's pain completely disappeared.Differential diagnosis of bone demineralization disorders, such as osteoporosis and TIO, is important because of the different treatment strategies. Patients with TIO have good prognoses if diagnosis is made early and treatment is adequate.
