Abstract

VAN WIJK, Monica et al. Advanced tumour-induced osteomalacia secondary to sinonasal phosphaturic mesenchymal tumour. S. Afr. J. radiol. (Online) [online]. 2024, vol.28, n.1, pp.1-6. ISSN 2078-6778.  https://doi.org/10.4102/sajr.v28i1.2975.

Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumours (PMT) are rare, benign lesions and the most common tumour to cause tumour-induced osteomalacia (TIO), a paraneoplastic syndrome. Patients frequently exhibit severe osteomalacia, accompanied by multiple fractures, which significantly impair their quality of life. Complete surgical resection is curative. CONTRIBUTION: A rare case of sinonasal PMT is presented, with a focus on the imaging findings and role of the radiologist and nuclear physician.

Keywords : phosphaturic; mesenchymal; tumour; induced; osteomalacia; TIO; fractures; sinosanal; radiology; nuclear.
