Osteomalacia

From: http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=S1807-59322009000200015&script=sci_arttext

In case you are wondering osteomalacia, a condition due to lack of Vitamin D, can cause a deficit in mineralization of osteoid matrix which leads to decrease osteoid altogether. The former is correct but not the latter, i.e. it causes accumulation of osteoid tissue (Relative excess of osteoid) instead of its lost. Great, get it wrong again...
