Abstract
The symptom of bone pain led to the discovery of Fanconi syndrome in a 20 yr old man. The presenting osteomalacia was associated with an early deterioration of the sacroiliac joint and osteonecrosis of both femoral heads. The coexistence of these 2 unusual disorders were not coincidental. A diagnosis of osteomalacia was considered because of impaired mineralization predominantly affecting the median part of the sacroiliac joints. The bone necroses, of probable microfracture origin, were probably directly related to the osteomalacia.
