Abstract
Neuroendocrine paraneoplastic syndromes (PNS) consist of metabolic disorders that accompany benign and malignant neoplasms but remain unrelated to mass effects or invasion by the primary tumor or its metastases. The underlying pathogenesis responsible for PNS usual clinical presentation relies on aberrant production of protein hormones, proteins and other substances by the tumor. Prompt recognition of characteristic signs and symptoms combined with serological identification of key substances may result in early diagnosis of PNS and its underlying malignancy. For these reasons, healthcare professionals should familiarize themselves with tumor-induced hypercalcemia, syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone, carcinoid syndrome, virilisation syndrome, gynecomastia, acromegaly, Cushing syndrome, osteogenic osteomalacia, tumor-induced hypoglycemia, necrolytic migratory erythema, and watery diarrhea, hypokalemia and achlorydria syndrome. Medical awareness for PNS can improve patient outcomes through earlier administration of cancer therapy and treatment, better symptomatic relief and prolong overall survival.

Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor with an admixture of epithelial and mesenchymal elements in the jaws: clinicopathological and immunohistochemical analysis of 22 cases with literature review. Mod Pathol 2019; 32:189-204. [PMID: 30206408 DOI: 10.1038/s41379-018-0100-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2017] [Revised: 05/29/2018] [Accepted: 05/29/2018] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Information on the heterogeneity of phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor, a rare entity associated with tumor-induced osteomalacia, is limited. In this retrospective analysis of 222 phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors, 22 cases exhibited mixed mesenchymal and epithelial elements, which we propose to term "phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor, mixed epithelial, and connective tissue type." Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor of the mixed epithelial and connective tissue type showed a distinctive and significant male predominance (male:female = 2.67:1), with most patients diagnosed at <40 years old. Moreover, all tumors were mainly located in the alveolar bone with focal invasion into surrounding soft tissue and oral mucosa, which could be detected preoperatively by oral examination. The mesenchymal component, composed of spindled cells resembling fibroblasts or myofibroblasts arranged in a storiform or fascicular pattern, exhibited a less prominent vasculature and lower cellularity than the typical phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (mixed connective tissue type). The epithelial component was typically haphazardly and diffusely distributed throughout the tumor, forming small, irregular nests resembling odontogenic epithelial nests. All cases were immunoreactive for fibroblast growth factor-23, somatostatin receptor 2A, and NSE in both components. Mostly also demonstrated positive staining for CD99 (21/22, 96%), CD56 (16/22, 73%), Bcl-2 (21/22, 96%), and D2-40 (19/22, 86%) in one or both components. S100 was positive in both components in one of seven cases. Interestingly, immunoreactivity was typically stronger and more diffuse in the epithelial than in the paired mesenchymal components. The mesenchymal component was also diffusely positive for CD68 (17/17, 100%) and showed variable focal staining for SMA (15/22, 68%) and CD34 (9/19, 47 %). These results indicate that phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor of the mixed epithelial and connective tissue type has distinctive clinicopathological characteristics and a polyimmunophenotypic profile.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is an aggressive malignancy of bone affecting children, adolescents and young adults. Understanding vitamin D metabolism and vitamin D regulated genes in OS is an important aspect of vitamin D/cancer paradigm, and in evaluating vitamin D as adjuvant therapy for human OS. Vitamin D treatment of 143B OS cells induced significant and novel changes in the expression of genes that regulate: (a) inflammation and immunity; (b) formation of reactive oxygen species, metabolism of cyclic nucleotides, sterols, vitamins and mineral (calcium), quantity of gap junctions and skeletogenesis; (c) bone mineral density; and (d) cell viability of skeletal cells, aggregation of bone cancer cells and exocytosis of secretory vesicles. Ingenuity pathway analysis revealed significant reduction in Runx2 target genes such as fibroblast growth factor -1, -12 (FGF1 and FGF12), bone morphogenetic factor-1 (BMP1), SWI/SNF related, matrix associated actin dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily a, member 4 (SMARCA4), Matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein (MEPE), Integrin, β4 (ITGBP4), Matrix Metalloproteinase -1, -28 (MMP1 and MMP28), and signal transducer and activator of transcription-4 (STAT4) in vitamin D treated 143B OS cells. These genes interact with the inflammation, oxidative stress and membrane vesicle biogenesis gene networks. Vitamin D not only inhibited the expression of Runx2 target genes MMP1, MMP28 and kallikrein related peptidase-7 (KLK7), but also migration and invasion of 143B OS cells. Vitamin D regulated Runx2 target genes or their products represent potential therapeutic targets and laboratory biomarkers for applications in translational oncology.

Abstract
Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) is a rare neoplasm that secretes fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) and causes oncogenic osteomalacia. It occurs in adults with equal gender distribution and the most common location is the lower extremities, followed by the head and neck. Besides osteomalacia, the clinical presentation includes bone pain and multiple bone fractures. Microscopic features consist of spindle cells, multinucleated giant cells, and calcifications embedded in a chondromyxoid matrix. Laboratory findings indicate normal calcium and parathyroid levels, hypophosphatemia, and increased levels of FGF-23 that usually revert to normal after surgical removal. Due to its rarity, the purpose of the study was to report 2 new oral cases of PMT and to review the literature in the head and neck. The first case occurred in the gingiva and had been present for 6 years. The second case was a recurrence of a previously diagnosed PMT in the right mandible that metastasized to the lung and soft tissue. The literature review included 53 cases in the head and neck. There was a predilection for extra-oral sites (76%) compared to intra-oral sites (24%) with paranasal sinuses considered the most common location (38%) followed by the mandible (15%). There were 9 recurrences that included 3 malignant cases indicating a potentially aggressive tumor. Due to the indeterminate biological behavior of PMT and its rarity, a comprehensive evaluation of medical, laboratory, radiographic, and histological findings are crucial for a definitive diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is an acquired form of hypophosphatemia. Tumor resection leads to cure. We investigated the clinical characteristics of TIO, diagnostic methods, and course after tumor resection in Beijing, China, and compared them with 269 previous published reports of TIO. A total of 94 patients with adult-onset hypophosphatemic osteomalacia were seen over a 6-year period (January, 2004 to May, 2010) in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. After physical examination (PE), all patients underwent technetium-99m octreotide scintigraphy ((99) Tc(m) -OCT). Tumors were removed after localization. The results demonstrated that 46 of 94 hypophosphatemic osteomalacia patients had high uptake in (99) Tc(m) -OCT imaging. Forty of them underwent tumor resection with the TIO diagnosis established in 37 patients. In 2 patients, the tumor was discovered on PE but not by (99) Tc(m) -OCT. The gender distribution was equal (M/F = 19/20). Average age was 42 ± 14 years. In 35 patients (90%), the serum phosphorus concentration returned to normal in 5.5 ± 3.0 days after tumor resection. Most of the tumors (85%) were classified as phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) or mixed connective tissue variant (PMTMCT). Recurrence of disease was suggested in 3 patients (9%). When combined with the 269 cases reported in the literature, the mean age and sex distribution were similar. The tumors were of bone (40%) and soft tissue (55%) origins, with 42% of the tumors being found in the lower extremities. In summary, TIO is an important cause of adult-onset hypophosphatemia in China. (99) Tc(m) -OCT imaging successfully localized the tumor in the overwhelming majority of patients. Successful removal of tumors leads to cure in most cases, but recurrence should be sought by long-term follow-up.

Abstract
Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare and fascinating paraneoplastic syndrome in which patients present with bone pain, fractures, and muscle weakness. The cause is high blood levels of the recently identified phosphate and vitamin D-regulating hormone, fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). In TIO, FGF23 is secreted by mesenchymal tumors that are usually benign, but are typically very small and difficult to locate. FGF23 acts primarily at the renal tubule and impairs phosphate reabsorption and 1α-hydroxylation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, leading to hypophosphatemia and low levels of 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D. A step-wise approach utilizing functional imaging (F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and octreotide scintigraphy) followed by anatomical imaging (computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging), and, if needed, selective venous sampling with measurement of FGF23 is usually successful in locating the tumors. For tumors that cannot be located, medical treatment with phosphate supplements and active vitamin D (calcitriol or alphacalcidiol) is usually successful; however, the medical regimen can be cumbersome and associated with complications. This review summarizes the current understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease and provides guidance in evaluating and treating these patients. Novel imaging modalities and medical treatments, which hold promise for the future, are also reviewed.

Abstract
Oncogenic osteomalacia is a rare association between mesenchymal tumors and hypophosphatemic rickets. It is more of a biochemical entity than a clinical one. The pathophysiology of the tumor is not clear. However, it has been seen that the clinical and biochemical parameters become normal if the lesion responsible for producing the osteomalacia is excised. For a clinical diagnosis a high index of suspicion is necessary. We present three such cases where in one the oncogenic osteomalacia reversed while in rest it did not. We present this case report to sensitize about the entity.
