Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor with an admixture of epithelial and mesenchymal elements in the jaws: clinicopathological and immunohistochemical analysis of 22 cases with literature review

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
