Hypophosphatemic Rickets in an Adolescent Cured by Excision of a Nonossifying Fibroma

Abstract

An adolescent girl complaining of chronic heel pain was found to have acquired hypophosphatemic rickets and a nonossifying fibroma of the femur. The hypophosphatemic rickets was completely corrected by surgical excision of the bone lesion. This case represents another example of tumor-induced osteomalacia.
