Abstract:
Hypophosphatemic osteomalacia, a familial or rarely acquired disorder, is characterized biochemically by hypophosphatemia, decreased renal tubular reabsorption of phosphate, decreased intestinal absorption of calcium, and normal serum calcium. This report concerns a rare case of hypophosphatemic osteomalacia of unknown cause that was shown on Tc-99m MDP bone scanning.
