TUMOR ASSOCIATED OSTEOMALACIA IN NEUROFIBROMATOSIS: CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW
author
Abstract:
The association of osteomalacia with neurofibromatosis is a very rare entity. Here a 34 year old man, a known case of neurofibromatosis, is reported who presented with bone pain, hypophosphatemia, rena] phosphorus wasting, multiple Looser's pseudofractures, and low bone density. Treatment with high dose calcitriol and phosphate resulted in temporary treatment. Permanent cure was achieved after removal of two large superficial neurofibromas.
