We present a case of a 48-year-old female patient who suffered from stress fractures, musculoskeletal pain, and tooth loss. The diagnosis of hypophosphatasia was made based on clinical and laboratory findings, as well as ALPL genetic testing. This case underscores the significance of early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of hypophosphatasia in adults to prevent further complications.
