Why is it important?
Important to consider TIO when assessing younger individuals with unexplained fractures and low phosphorus. Providers should consider that a normal FGF23 might not exclude the diagnosis.
Perspectives
In addition to thee importance of recognizing and diagnosing this condition, our patient had an interesting family history of a musculoskeletal malignancy [chondrosarcoma in his mother] and therefore this raises the question of whether genetic predisposition might underlie some cases of TIO.
