Adult sporadic hypophosphatemic osteomalacia presenting as regional migratory osteoporosis

Abstract

Osteoarticular manifestations associated with adult sporadic renal phosphate diabetes have previously been reported. We describe a 36-year-old man with phosphate diabetes who presented with migratory regional osteoporosis of the lower limbs. Our data suggest a cause-effect relationship between regional migratory osteoporosis and adult phosphate diabetes.
