We report a rare case of Albright's syndrome associated with both a soft-tissue myxoma and hypophosphataemic osteomalacia. Renal tubular function was preserved, except for glycosuria. Serum levels of 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D3 were normal. Excision of the myxoma did not influence the biochemical abnormalities, nor did standard doses of vitamin D3 or 1 alpha-OH vitamin D3. The previously reported cases of hypophosphataemic osteomalacia associated with fibrous dysplasia and mesenchymal tumours are reviewed and the underlying mechanism discussed.
