Abstrakt: Background: Osteomalacia (OM) is frequently confused with various musculoskeletal or other rheumatic diseases, especially in patients with adult-onset widespread musculoskeletal pain because of its low prevalence and non-specific manifestations.
Aim: To facilitate the early diagnosis and etiology-specific treatment of adult-onset hypophosphatemic OM.
Methods: A retrospective review of medical records was performed to screen adult patients who visited a physiatry locomotive medicine clinic (spine and musculoskeletal pain clinic) primarily presenting with widespread musculoskeletal pain at a single tertiary hospital between January 2011 and December 2019. We enrolled patients with hypophosphatemia, high serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase levels, and at least one imaging finding suggestive of OM.
Results: Eight patients with adult-onset hypophosphatemic OM were included. The back was the most common site of pain. Proximal dominant symmetric muscle weakness was observed in more than half of the patients. Bone scintigraphy was the most useful imaging modality for diagnosing OM because radiotracer uptake in OM showed characteristic patterns. Six patients were diagnosed with adefovir (ADV)-induced Fanconi syndrome, and the other two patients were diagnosed with tumor-induced OM and light-chain nephropathy, respectively. After phosphorus and vitamin D supplementation and treatment for the underlying etiologies, improvements in pain, muscle strength, and gait were observed in all patients.
Conclusion: Mechanical pain characteristics, hypophosphatemia, and distinctive bone scintigraphy patterns are the initial diagnostic indicators of adult-onset hypophosphatemic OM. ADV-induced Fanconi syndrome is the most common etiology of hypophosphatemic OM in hepatitis B virus-endemic countries.
