Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemic (XLH) rickets is a genetic disease caused due to the inactivation of the PHEX gene (phosphate regulating gene with homology to endopeptidase on the X chromosome). The usual presentation is with rickets and osteomalacia, and dental abscesses leading to premature loss of teeth. However, enthesopathy and sclerotic bone disease in XLH have also been reported in a few case reports. In this report, we describe the case of a 23-year-old female patient who presented to us with severe bone deformities, proximal myopathy, truncal weakness, and recent onset of pain and stiffness around the joints. She was diagnosed with XLH and was found to have severe enthesopathy along with heterotopic ossification.Entities:
