A case of acquired Vitamin D resistant osteomalacia associated with an inguinal mesenchymoma is reported. Surgical excision of the tumor led to dramatic recovery of the patient. Pathologically, the tumor is similar to the 7 cases previously described in the literature. This is not an endocrine tumor but it can secrete an ectopic hormone resulting in vitamin D resistant hypophosphatemic osteomalacia. Detection of neurosecretory granules by electron microscopic examination further confirms the endocrine nature of the tumor.
