We describe a rare case of a 57-year-old Indian female who presented with bone pains, muscle pains and lower limb weakness. On examination she was found to have hypophosphatemia. Our work up led to the identification of a FGF23 secreting parotid tumour. The tumour responsible for symptoms was a pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland. Its complete resection resulted in normalisation of patient’s symptoms. Laboratory parameters and microsopic examination further revealed a mesenchymal tumour of mixed connective tissue type.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Journal of the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies}, author={Oak, Jyotsna and Parmar, Girish and Sharma, Satish and Kulkarni, Bijal and Patil, Laxmi}, year={2016}, month={Nov.}, pages={171} }
