The physical incapacitation of the oncogenic hypophosphatemic osteomalacia (OHO) can be catastrophic and can lead to deformities, metabolic and organic instability and death. The only positive outcome is through early diagnosis by the clinical suspicion. At this moment, medical center infrastructure is also a keypoint.
This case report is about a 60-year old woman with multiple fractures, gradual loss of strength and muscle mass and limiting deformities in two years of evolution until the diagnostic.
The lack of knowledge of this disease causes a delay in diagnosis that can bring deformities to the patient, as well as death. Is crucial that is hypothesized to carry out the necessary tests, since they are expensive and not always available.
This case reinforces the importance to understand the OHO and tumoral search, once this lesion is, in most cases, imperceptible to physical examination or several imaging studies.
致癌性低磷性骨软化症(OHO)导致的身体机能丧失可能是灾难性的,会引发畸形、代谢及机体不稳定,甚至死亡。唯一积极的结果是通过临床怀疑实现早期诊断。目前,医疗中心的基础设施也是一个关键点。
本病例报告讲述的是一名60岁女性,在两年病程中出现多处骨折、力量和肌肉量逐渐丧失以及局限性畸形,直至确诊。
对这种疾病缺乏了解会导致诊断延迟,从而给患者带来畸形甚至死亡。至关重要的是,由于相关检查费用高昂且并非总能进行,所以要假设进行必要的检查。
该病例强化了了解OHO及进行肿瘤排查的重要性,因为在大多数情况下,这种病变通过体格检查或多项影像学检查难以察觉。
