Article Abstract
Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) is a rare tumor causing bone complications and myopathy. Histologically, PMT displays a mix of spindled cells, osteoclast-like giant cells, basophilic matrix, and flocculent or "grungy" calcification. Here we describe a case of PMT in the right hip and proximal femur, initially suspected to be multiple myeloma, presenting with osteolytic lesions and elevated alkaline phosphatase. Tests for malignancy were negative, but a subsequent biopsy confirmed PMT. The patient underwent hip biopsy, femur resection, and hemiarthroplasty, with follow-up MRI recommended.

Introduction: Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome that is characterized by hypophosphatemia resulting from the leakage of renal phosphate. Due to its diverse and nonspecific clinical manifestations, the diagnosis is often delayed.
Case Report: We present the rare case of a 33-year-old man with TIO who was presented with chronic bilateral hip joint pain and was initially misdiagnosed with osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Aims: In recent years, molecular methods have emerged as valuable tools for identifying novel characteristics and recognizing extremely rare entities, thereby enhancing our understanding of their occurrence. In this case series, we present four exceptionally rare mesenchymal lesions affecting the knee region. Each case posed unique challenges, highlighting the pivotal role of molecular testing in achieving accurate diagnoses.

Background: Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome caused by mesenchymal tumors that secrete fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) is a novel histopathologic entity that has been identified as a separate cause of TIO. Clinically, PMT is typically diagnosed late due to its rarity.

Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) is a rare bone or soft tissue tumor. It exhibits distinctive morphologic features, including bland spindled cells, highly vascularized stroma, "smudgy or grungy" calcified matrix, and osteoclast-like giant cells. It is characterized by paraneoplastic tumor-induced osteomalacia through producing phosphatonins, especially FGF23.

Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasia usually located in the soft tissue and the bone. It is seen in older ages and is most commonly localized in the extremities. Here, we present a rare case of PMT located in the sinonasal region.
