Tumor-induced osteomalacia is a relatively rare paraneoplastic syndrome. Fewer than 200 cases of tumor-induced osteomalacia following head and neck tumors have been reported worldwide. Herein, we report a case of tumor-related osteomalacia caused by a maxillofacial tumor, and review the literature in order to enhance clinicians’ understanding of tumor-induced osteomalacia and propose diagnostic strategies. In this case, the patient presented with bone pain first in the left thigh region and later involved the ribs and ankle, which had been mistakenly treated as being ankylosing spondylitis without any obvious effect. The symptoms worsened later and the patient was unable to walk. Laboratory tests showed that serum phosphorus decreased, while alkaline phosphatase and parathyroid hormone increased. Moreover, 25 hydroxyvitamin D and serum calcium were normal. The patient was diagnosed as osteomalacia in another hospital, and the subsequent positron emission tomography computed tomography examination suggested focal bony destruction of the left maxilla with an increased radioactive uptake. After hospital admission, the patient underwent “resection of the left maxillary mass + radical resection of the left maxillary sinus”. The postoperative pathology indicated phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor; mixed epithelial and connective tissue type. On the 4th postoperative day, the serum phosphorus level of the patient returned to normal, the sensation of bone pain and joint stiffness gradually improved, and the patient became more flexible than before surgery. Surgeons can learn the followings from this case report: (I) if osteomalacia is found, we should carefully distinguish whether it is genetic or secondary, carefully inquire whether there is a family history and special medical history, and carefully consider physical examination and imaging evaluation to localize the inducing tumor as soon as possible; (II) tumor-induced osteomalacia is mostly benign or lowgrade malignancy, with a rare incidence of high-grade malignancy. However, due to its local invasive nature, an extensive resection is often performed around the tumor to reduce recurrence. In a word, this case report is worthy that it addresses the common misleading presentation of such cases and subsequent mistreatment as osteoporosis that inversely affects prognosis.
