Abstract
Tumor-induced osteomalacia in the head and neck region remains a challenging diagnosis to manage. Literature pertaining to management and outcome details remains sparse. We describe two cohorts: cohort 1 included seven patients from a single center in Western India with tumors located in paranasal sinuses (n = 3), intracranial (n = 2) and maxilla (n = 2). The unique features from our series is the management of persistent disease with radiation therapy (n = 2) and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) (n = 1). Cohort two has 163 patients identified from 109 publications for systematic review. Paranasal sinuses, mandible, intracranial disease, maxilla and oral cavity, in descending order, are reportedly common tumor sites. Within this cohort, mean age was 46 ± 14 years at presentation with 44.1% having local symptoms. Duration of symptoms varied from 1 to 240 months. Pre-surgery mean serum phosphorus was 1.4 ± 0.4 mg/dL and median FGF-23 levels were 3.6 (IQR:1.8-6.8) times of normal upper limit of normal. Majority (97.5%) were managed primarily with surgical excision; however, primary radiotherapy (n = 2) and surgery combined with radiotherapy (n = 2) were also reported. Twenty patients had persistent disease while nine patients had recurrence, more commonly noted with intracranial and oral cavity tumors. Surgery was the most common second mode of treatment employed succeeded by radiotherapy. Four patients had metastatic disease. The most common histopathological diagnosis reported is PMT mixed connective tissue, while the newer terminology 'PMT mixed epithelial and connective tissue type' has been described in 15 patients.

Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor with an admixture of epithelial and mesenchymal elements in the jaws: clinicopathological and immunohistochemical analysis of 22 cases with literature review. Mod Pathol 2019; 32:189-204. [PMID: 30206408 DOI: 10.1038/s41379-018-0100-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2017] [Revised: 05/29/2018] [Accepted: 05/29/2018] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Information on the heterogeneity of phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor, a rare entity associated with tumor-induced osteomalacia, is limited. In this retrospective analysis of 222 phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors, 22 cases exhibited mixed mesenchymal and epithelial elements, which we propose to term "phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor, mixed epithelial, and connective tissue type." Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor of the mixed epithelial and connective tissue type showed a distinctive and significant male predominance (male:female = 2.67:1), with most patients diagnosed at <40 years old. Moreover, all tumors were mainly located in the alveolar bone with focal invasion into surrounding soft tissue and oral mucosa, which could be detected preoperatively by oral examination. The mesenchymal component, composed of spindled cells resembling fibroblasts or myofibroblasts arranged in a storiform or fascicular pattern, exhibited a less prominent vasculature and lower cellularity than the typical phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (mixed connective tissue type). The epithelial component was typically haphazardly and diffusely distributed throughout the tumor, forming small, irregular nests resembling odontogenic epithelial nests. All cases were immunoreactive for fibroblast growth factor-23, somatostatin receptor 2A, and NSE in both components. Mostly also demonstrated positive staining for CD99 (21/22, 96%), CD56 (16/22, 73%), Bcl-2 (21/22, 96%), and D2-40 (19/22, 86%) in one or both components. S100 was positive in both components in one of seven cases. Interestingly, immunoreactivity was typically stronger and more diffuse in the epithelial than in the paired mesenchymal components. The mesenchymal component was also diffusely positive for CD68 (17/17, 100%) and showed variable focal staining for SMA (15/22, 68%) and CD34 (9/19, 47 %). These results indicate that phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor of the mixed epithelial and connective tissue type has distinctive clinicopathological characteristics and a polyimmunophenotypic profile.

Abstract
Objectives Oncogenic osteomalacia is a paraneoplastic syndrome in which the tumor secretes a peptide-like hormone, fibroblast growth factor, resulting in urinary loss of phosphates. Methods We present the case of a 50-year-old woman with a benign phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) involving the ethmoid sinus with obstruction of the ostiomeatal complex causing unilateral nasal airway obstruction. Results The tumor was initially thought to be an esthesioneuroblastoma based on primary pathology interpretation and on clinical and radiographic appearance. However, a benign PMT was later confirmed by further testing. Conclusion The tumor was removed entirely by the endoscopic transnasal approach, leading to a full resolution of symptoms.

Abstract
We report a case of sinonasal phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) and conduct a systematic review of the literature to highlight a unique paraneoplastic syndrome associated with PMT. We used English language publications from Medline and Cochrane databases (1970-2013) as data sources. A systematic review of the literature was conducted. All reported cases of head and neck PMTs were included. The presence or absence of the associated paraneoplastic syndrome was noted. We found 33 cases of PMT in the head and neck reported in the literature, 17 of which occurred in the sinonasal area. Approximately 5% of all PMTs are located in the head and neck. Just greater than half are concentrated in the sinonasal area, and the remaining involve various bony and soft tissue structures of the head and neck. PMT is sometimes associated with a paraneoplastic syndrome of tumor-induced (oncogenic) osteomalacia (TIO) causing bone pain, muscle weakness, and pathologic fractures. We present the 18th reported case of sinonasal PMT. A smooth mucosa-covered midline intraseptal mass filling the posterior nasal cavity with destruction and erosion of the skull base was found in an adult male. The patient underwent successful endoscopic resection with wide negative margins and is without recurrence at 24-month follow-up. PMT is a benign, locally aggressive tumor with rare malignant transformation. Knowledge of the bony invasion and destruction caused by this tumor is essential in planning surgical resection with wide negative margins. Familiarity with the associated TIO is essential to investigate for and manage any associated bony morbidity.

Abstract
Oncogenic osteomalacia is a rare cause that makes abnormalities of bone metabolism. Our case arose in a 47-year-old woman presenting a nasal mass associated with osteomalacia. We excised the mass carefully. After surgery, it was diagnosed as hemangiopericytoma and her symptoms related with osteomalacia were relieved and biochemical abnormalities were restored to normal range. We report and review a rare case of nasal hemangiopericytoma that caused osteomalacia.

Abstract
Background Oncogenous osteomalacia (OOM), which is also known as tumour-induced osteomalacia, is a rare condition associated with a neoplasm and a related systemic bone demineralization caused by renal phosphate wasting. OOM usually occurs in association with a variety of different mesenchymal tumours, and they were categorized into four distinct morphological patterns which they termed "phosphaturic mesenchymal tumour". Of its 4 histopathological subtypes, the mixed connective tissue variant is most commonly observed. Only 10% of cases appear in the head and neck regions and moreover, only 5 previously published tumors were localized in the sinonasal area. The authors describe a case of a man with a PMT originating from the frontoethmoidal region. Case presentation A 53-year-old man was referred to our ORL clinic due to a presence of a mass at the nasal root having been growing asymptomatically for 1 year. CT scans demonstrated a large (25 × 20 × 35 mm) bilateral frontoethmoidal mass with destruction of nasal bones. The tumor did not appear to invade to the anterior skull base. A selective angiography revealed a moderate hypervascularization of the tumour during early and late arterial phases. The tumour was removed from the external approach and the definitive histopathological diagnosis was a phospaturic mesenchymal tumor. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry revealed a slight osteopenia of the first and second lumbar vertebrae and neck of the thigh bone. The serum and urinary levels of both calcium and anorganic phosphate were within normal limits. The patient is doing well three years after the operation, and the serum and urine levels of calcium and phosphate remain well within normal limits. Conclusion PMT is rare in the sinonasal region, it can be rarely observed without the signs of osteomalacia.

Abstract
The authors describe a case of oncogenic osteomalacia due to a mesenchymal phosphaturic tumour in the maxillary sinus. This is a paraneoplastic syndrome in which a tumour produces a peptide hormone-like substance (phosphatonin) that causes a urinary loss of phosphates resulting in a debilitating systemic condition. In this case, the patient experienced muscle stiffness, reduction of muscle tone, loss of weight and pathological fractures. Clinical and radiological examination revealed a tumour in the right maxillary sinus; all other results were negative. The diagnosis following pathology examination was mesenchymal phosphaturic tumour with a haemangiopericytoma-like vascular pattern. Different histological types of mesenchymal tumours can be associated with paraneoplastic syndrome, but their localization in the paranasal sinuses is rare. The correct diagnosis allows the appropriate therapeutic approach, which can lead to an almost immediate resolution of the clinical situation after surgical removal of the neoplasm as in the present case. Oncogenic osteomalacia is rare, particularly in the maxillofacial region, and only a few cases have been reported.

Abstract
Oncogenic osteomalacia, which is characterized by renal phosphate wasting, low serum 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and osteomalacia, is caused by mesenchymal neoplasms that are termed phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors (PMTs). As PMTs are usually small and lack specific histological features, the pathological identification of PMTs is difficult. Dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1) is an acidic phosphoprotein expressed in mineralized tissues including bone, tooth, and hypertrophic cartilage. Increased expression of DMP1 gene in PMTs has been reported by using differential cDNA screening. In the present study, DMP1 expression in PMTs and other soft tissue tumors was analyzed immunohistochemically to verify its utility in the differential diagnosis of PMTs. Anti-DMP1 polyclonal antibody was raised against the C-terminal sequence of DMP1. Three cases with PMTs and 11 other soft tissue tumors (two malignant hemangiopericytomas, three solitary fibrous tumors, three synovial sarcomas, and three malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors) were analyzed for DMP1 expression. DMP1 expression was observed in all of the three cases with PMTs, but never found in other soft tissue tumors examined. DMP1 was detected in the extracellular matrix with myxomatous features or around capillary vessels, and in dystrophic calcified sites. Paranuclear DMP1 staining in the tumor cells was also observed. These findings indicate that DMP1 immunohistochemistry is a useful tool for identifying PMTs.

Abstract
Oncogenic osteomalacia (OO) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome of osteomalacia due to phosphate wasting. The phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (mixed connective tissue variant) (PMTMCT) is an extremely rare, distinctive tumor that is frequently associated with OO. Despite its association with OO, many PMTMCTs go unrecognized because they are erroneously diagnosed as other mesenchymal tumors. Expression of fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23), a recently described protein putatively implicated in renal tubular phosphate loss, has been shown in a small number of mesenchymal tumors with known OO. The clinicopathological features of 32 mesenchymal tumors either with known OO (29) or with features suggestive of PMTMCT (3) were studied. Immunohistochemistry for cytokeratin, S-100, actin, desmin, CD34, and FGF-23 was performed. The patients (13 male, 19 female) ranged from 9 to 80 years in age (median 53 years). A long history of OO was common. The cases had been originally diagnosed as PMTMCT (15), hemangiopericytoma (HPC) (3), osteosarcoma (3), giant cell tumor (2), and other (9). The tumors occurred in a variety of soft tissue (21) and bone sites (11) and ranged from 1.7 to 14 cm. Twenty-four cases were classic PMTMCT with low cellularity, myxoid change, bland spindled cells, distinctive "grungy" calcified matrix, fat, HPC-like vessels, microcysts, hemorrhage, osteoclasts, and an incomplete rim of membranous ossification. Four of these benign-appearing PMTMCTs contained osteoid-like matrix. Three other PMTMCTs were hypercellular and cytologically atypical and were considered malignant. The 3 cases without known OO were histologically identical to the typical PMTMCT. Four cases did not resemble PMTMCT: 2 sinonasal HPC, 1 conventional HPC, and 1 sclerosing osteosarcoma. Three cases expressed actin; all other markers were negative. Expression of FGF-23 was seen in 17 of 21 cases by immunohistochemistry and in 2 of 2 cases by RT-PCR. Follow-up (25 cases, 6-348 months) indicated the following: 21 alive with no evidence of disease and with normal serum chemistry, 4 alive with disease (1 malignant PMTMCT with lung metastases). We conclude that most cases of mesenchymal tumor-associated OO, both in the present series and in the reported literature, are due to PMTMCT. Improved recognition of their histologic spectrum, including the presence of bone or osteoid-like matrix in otherwise typical cases and the existence of malignant forms, should allow distinction from other mesenchymal tumors. Recognition of PMTMCT is critical, as complete resection cures intractable OO. Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR for FGF-23 confirm the role of this protein in PMTMCT-associated OO.

Abstract
Renal proximal tubules play a vital role in phosphorus (P) homeostasis. It is well known that dietary P restriction up-regulates the activities of 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3)-1alpha-hydroxylase (1-OHase), an enzyme that is involved in activation of vitamin D and thereby maintaining P balance. However, the mechanism involved in such regulation is not known. In the present study, we aim to identify proteins that might be involved in the renal adaptation to dietary P restriction using a proteomic approach. Renal proximal tubules were harvested from young rats fed either normal P diet or low P diet (LPD) for 1 to 7 days. Western blotting analysis of 1-OHase and signaling proteins in insulin-like growth factor I axis indicated an increase in expression of these proteins upon dietary P restriction. Using two-dimensional electrophoresis, we found that LPD reduced the total number of protein species expressed in renal proximal tubules. Differentially expressed proteins were analyzed and located using the software Melanie III, and their identities were found using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry. Our results showed that beta-actin, gamma-actin, major urinary protein, phosphatidylinositol transfer protein beta isoform, and G1/S-specific cyclin D3 are up-regulated and nonspecific lipid transfer protein is down-regulated by LPD.
