Albright's syndrome with hypophosphatemic rickets and hyperthyroidism: a case report

Abstract: In this abstract we report a case of Albright's syndrome associated with hypophosphatemic rickets and hyperthyroidism in a six-year-old girl. She had suffered from repeated fractures of her long bones owing to multiple locations of radiolucent areas and generalized skeletal demineralization. The biopsy in the lucent area revealed histologic appearance of fibrous dysplasia.

“…In McCune–Albright syndrome (MAS), the characteristic features include a combination of skin lesions (café‐au‐lait spots), polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, and endocrine abnormalities—variably including precocious puberty, thyrotoxicosis, pituitary gigantism, and Cushing syndrome [OMIM 174800] and sometimes hypophosphatemic rickets [Hahn et al, 1991; McArthur et al, 1979; OMIM 174800]. Furthermore, as we confirmed for one of our patients, elevated circulating levels of FGF‐23 can occur in patients with MAS [Riminucci et al, 2003].…”

“…A base fisiopatológica permanece desconhecida, contudo duas hipóteses são descritas. A primeira relata a possí-vel existência de um fator fosfatúrico circulante produzido pelo tecido osteóide fibrótico e a segunda sugere a existência de um defeito intrínseco de reabsorção tubular renal de fosfato (11,12,38,39).…”

“…Outras manifestações de hiperfunção endócrina podem também estar presentes como: hipersomatotropismo (3,4), hiperprolactinemia (5,6), hipertiroidismo (3,7,8), hiperparatiroidismo (8) e hipercortisolismo (9,10). No sistema esquelético, além da DFP que caracteriza a síndrome, foram descritos casos associados de raquitismo hipofosfatêmico (11,12). As lesões displásicas podem, ainda que raramente, evoluir para osteossarcoma (13).…”
