Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors (PMTs) are neoplasms associated with tumor-induced osteomalacia. Patients typically present pathologic fractures in the setting of chronic hypophosphatemic hyperphosphaturic osteomalacia, as well gradual muscle weakness, bone pain, and difficulty walking. Because their rarity nonspecific symptomatology, phosphaturic often go undiagnosed for years. Even when discovered on imaging, can be diagnostically challenging radiologists. tend to small located nearly anywhere body, and, therefore, mimic many other tumors.
