Oncogenous osteomalacia: review of the world literature of 42 cases and report of two new cases
EA Ryan, E Reiss - The American journal of medicine, 1984 - Elsevier
The clinical and biochemical data in 42 reported cases of oncogenous osteomalacia are
reviewed, and data in two previously unreported cases are recorded. It is likely that the
syndrome is more common than suggested by the paucity of reports and may account for a
substantial fraction of nonfamllial, adult-onset “idiopathic” osteomalacia. Tumors associated
with the syndrome are characteristically benign, of mesenchymal origin, highly vascular, and
composed principally of giant and spindle cells. Complete excision of tumors results in cure …
