[Biological and histological profile of osteomalacia in condensing prostatic osteosis. Apropos of 4 cases].

The authors report on 4 cases of condensating prostatic osteosis, whose biological picture and histomorphometric lesions in the involved area indicate osteomalacia. They discuss the individual nature of such a syndrome, the links between vitamin D deficiency and hyperosteoidosis at a very slow noted speed of calcification, and the usefulness of investigating and treating the syndrome.
