Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) is a rare entity that presents as a paraneoplastic syndrome that causes tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO). Most of these cases were located in the extremities. We report a case of a phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor arising in the left upper thigh. The tumor was discovered during the clinical workup of a patient complaining of osteomalacia symptoms with multiple fractures.
