title: Revision hip arthroplasty following recurrence of a phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor.
abstract: We report the case of a recurrent phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PHT) of the right acetabulum in a 47-year-old man with a long history of hip pain. After primary excision of the PHT, successful remission was expected due to normal phosphate levels. Over a long period, a recurrence led to destruction of the acetabulum and loosening of the back plate of the hip prosthesis. One-year follow-up after revision arthroplasty revealed normal phosphate levels, and the patient reported no complaints.
