Myopathy in hypophosphataemic osteomalacia presenting in adult life.

G D Schott, M R Wills
PMCID: PMC491911  PMID: 1151410

Abstract

Three cases of hypophosphataemic osteomalacia presenting in adult life, in which a myopathy was a prominent presenting feature, are described. In one, a nasopharyngeal haemangioma was also present. Possible mechanisms underlying the myopathy are discussed briefly.
