Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumours (PMT) in the sinonasal region are rare.
Patients can present with local nasal symptoms or with systemic symptoms
of tumour induced osteomalacia. Distinctive histological features and
biochemical derangements aid clinicians in the diagnosis.
We report a case of a 45 year old female who presented with sinonasal
PMT and consequent tumour induced osteomalacia in our institution. The
patient was diagnosed to have sinonasal PMT in the left nasal cavity
after presenting with epistaxis. She subsequently defaulted clinical
follow-up and re-presented 2.5 years later with symptoms of tumour
induced osteomalacia including immobility & multiple atraumatic
fractures. Resolution of her clinical symptoms and metabolic
abnormalities were seen after endoscopic resection of PMT. She remains
disease free as of 1 year follow-up.
This case highlights the challenges in diagnosing sinonasal PMT &
clinical considerations in the management of PMT. Surgical resection
remains the mainstay of treatment with adjuvant radiotherapy in cases of
incomplete resection or recurrence. Post-operative surveillance includes
clinical and biochemical surveillance with repeat FGF-23 levels.
