oncogenous osteomalacia, osteomalacia occurring in association with usually benign mesenchymal neoplasms. The tumors appear to produce a substance that impairs renal tubular functions such as phosphate transport and hydroxylation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D; hypophosphatemia secondary to reduced renal resorption of phosphate is a major cause of the bone disease.

A gene that causes cells to grow in an uncontrolled manner, ie, that causes cancer. Oncogenes are mutant forms of normal functional genes (called proto-oncogenes) that have a role in normal cell proliferation.
