The oncogenic hypophosphatemic osteomalacia is a very incapacitating disease and the mortality rate, mainly due to metabolic disorder, depends on the early diagnosis, since the surgery is curative. The major difficulty is to consider this kind of disease in patients with complex clinical presentation. Moreover, medical centers have to provide a good diagnostic infrastructure because these tumors, in most cases, are small and do not have an obvious site. This case report is about a man with a rapid loss of strength and muscle mass, which had his diagnosis in a late, culminating in significant deformities and organic dysfunctions with clinical repercussions. However, the fast diagnosis with appropriate tests determined the stop point of the evolution of disease and marked the beginning of metabolic recovery. This case reinforces the global problem health care infrastructure and the access to diagnostic equipment, demonstrating the impact on the patient's health of our service. |
