title: [Dense bone metastases and hypophosphatemic osteomalacia during the course of prostatic cancer (author's transl)].
abstract: In patient bearing an advenced prostatic carcinoma with bony metastases, a major hypophosphoremia had led to the detection of an osteomalacia. As far as we know, three observations of the same syndrome have been published previously. As a pathogenic hypothesis, we propose that this tumor secret a substance which inhibit the action of vitamine D. Hypophosphoremia could result from an hyperparathyroid due to hypocalcemia.
