Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare, paraneoplastic syndrome featured with fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) secretion primarily by benign mesenchymal tumors and sometimes by malignancies. TIO diagnosis and treatment is often delayed because TIO usually has nonspecific Although more than 50 patients with the tumor-induced osteomalacia syndrome, characterized by remission of unexplained osteomalacia after resection of a coexisting tumor, have been reported, the pathogenesis of this syndrome is still not clear. We investigated the cause of biopsy-confirmed
The histopathology of 23 radical prostatectomies from patients with prostatic adenocarcinoma pretreated for 3-6 months with combination therapy including a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist and the antiandrogen drug flutamide was reviewed and compared with the pretreatment biopsies or
A case of tumor-induced osteomalacia in a 35-year-old woman suffering from severe bone pain and muscle weakness is described. This uncommon disease is characterized by a reduced serum phosphorus level with elevated urinary phosphate excretion, normocalcemia, high serum bone alkaline phosphatase and
Tumor-induced osteomalacia is a clinicopathological entity in which vitamin D-resistant osteomalacia or rickets occurs in association with a tumor. A total of 72 cases (three current, 69 from review of literature) has been reported to date. Men and women are equally affected. The majority are adults
This paper shows a case of oncogenic osteomalacia in a 35-year-old man who presented with a 2-year history of generalized pain and progressive weakness of lower limbs, eventually became bed bound. At admission he had severe hip pain resulting from atraumatic femoral neck fractures. Laboratory
A 47-year-old woman suffered from gait disturbance due to back pain and muscle weakness. Laboratory data showed serum hypophosphatemia, elevated alkaline phosphatase, and a normal level of ionized calcium. Radiological examinations revealed multiple pathologic fractures in the ribs and pubic rami.
A 45-year-old male was admitted with difficulty in walking due to leg pain. At the time of the first visit, a reduced serum phosphorus concentration and an increased serum alkaline phosphatase concentration of unknown etiology were observed. Either a whole body bone scintigraphy or CT of the neck,
BACKGROUND
Tumor-induced hypophosphatemic osteomalacia is a syndrome characterized by urinary phosphate wasting related to the presence of a slowly-growing tumor of mesenchymal origin. The characteristic laboratory findings are normal serum calcium, marked hypophosphatemia, increased serum alkaline
Oncogenic osteomalacia is an unusual and rare clinicopathologic syndrome characterized by mesenchymal tumors that apparently produce osteomalacia and biochemical abnormalities consisting of hypophosphatemia, normocalcemia, and increased levels of alkaline phosphatase. We collected from the Mayo
The characteristics of a new osteosarcoma-associated cell surface antigen were studied by means of two murine monoclonal antibodies, TP-1 and TP-3, which were found to bind to two different epitopes on the same antigen, a monomeric polypeptide with a molecular weight of approximately 80,000.
