Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor-induced bilateral osteomalacia femoral neck fractures: a case report.

Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors (PMT) are rare and distinctive tumors that typically result in paraneoplastic syndrome known as tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO). We report a case of bilateral osteoporotic femoral neck fracture caused by PMT. PMT was surgically resected, followed by sequential treatment of bilateral femoral neck fractures with total hip arthroplasty (THA). A 49-year-old perimenopausal woman experienced consistent bone pain with limb weakness persisting for over 2 years. Initially, she was diagnosed with early osteonecrosis of the femoral head and received nonsurgical treatment. However, from 2020 to 2022, her pain extended to the bilateral shoulders and knees with increased intensity. She had no positive family history or any other genetic diseases, and her menstrual cycles were regular. Physical examination revealed tenderness at the midpoints of the bilateral groin and restricted bilateral hip range of motion, with grade 3/5 muscle strength in both lower extremities. Laboratory findings revealed moderate anemia (hemoglobin 66 g/L), leukopenia (2.70 × 10
