Sphenoid sinus is a rare site for tumor-induced osteomalacia: A case report and literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In this paper, we present a rare case of tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) and a literature review of this rare disease.

Methods

A case of TIO of the isolated sphenoid sinus was reported. Furthermore, the clinical features of TIO in the sphenoid sinus and other sinonasal sinuses were also reviewed and summarized.

Results

A 35-year-old man with muscle weakness and lower back pain came to the Department of Neurology. No obvious neurological disease was found; however, magnetic resonance imaging of the extremities accidentally showed a tumor in the axilla. Bone scintigraphy showed suspicious bone metastasis. Hypophosphatemia was neglected. Interestingly, 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-d-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (¹⁸F-FDG
