Background: Phosphaturic Mesenchymal Tumor (PMT) is a rare type of mesenchymal neoplasm that is associated with oncogenic osteomalacia, resulting in serious musculoskeletal problems. Since it exhibits rare occurrence and random possible siting, diagnosis is often delayed for years. Methods: We report a case of a patient diagnosed with a small PMT in the oral cavity, who remained undiagnosed for months. The combination of PET/CT scan and systemic venous sampling of fibroblast growth factor 23, that is secreted from the tumor, confirmed the diagnosis. Results: Total resection of the tumor was uncomplicated and totally curative. Conclusions: Hence, physicians should stay vigilant and have in mind the characteristics of PMTs, in order to include them in the differential diagnosis of osteomalacia. *Correspondence to: Sarafidou Anastasia, Department of Otolaryngology-Head Neck Surgery, AHEPA University Hospital, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, Tel: +30 6936974477; E-mail: tesisaraf@gmail.com
