Abstract
- A 60-year-old woman suffered from recurrent femur neck fracture. Laboratory data showed serum hypophosphatemia, elevated alkaline phosphatase, normal serum calcium levels, and normal parathyroid hormone levels. Radiological examinations revealed a tumor in the right maxillary alveolar bone. The nasal cavity mass was removed, and the histological features were those of glomangiopericytoma. After removal of the tumor, some of the laboratory data normalized. Based on the clinical features, histopathological diagnosis and postoperative course of events, a diagnosis of glomangiopericytoma causing oncogenic osteomalacia was confirmed. We report a case of oncogenic osteomalacia caused by sinonasal glomangiopericytoma.
