Abstract

Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is an ultrarare disorder that is caused by renal phosphate wasting due to uncontrolled tumoral production of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) from phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors. Surgical removal of the tumor is curative. There is limited information on the biochemical changes in mineral metabolism and bone remodeling activity after surgery, but it is reported that surgery is followed by a hungry bone syndrome (HBS) with hypocalcemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism. We report the biochemical response to surgery in two patients, who presented with severe TIO, as manifested by proximal myopathy, multiple stress fractures, high FGF23, low serum phosphate, low maximum renal phosphate reabsorption threshold (TmP/GFR), and low 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D (1,25(OH)
