Hypercalcemia in accelerated phase of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is very rare. Its pathogenesis is considered humoral hypercalcemia of malignancies mediated by parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP). In severe hypercalcemia, calcifications in kidneys, skin, vessels, heart, and stomach may occur. Our two cases were admitted because of severe hypercalcemia in accelerated phase of CML...
Hypercalcemia of malignancy is the most common cause of hypercalcemia in hospitalized patients. It is associated with a poor prognosis, since it reflects an advanced cancer stage. Among all cancer in females, breast cancer is the most common malignancy, and it has the highest prevalence of hypercalcemia. Approximately 70% of patients with breast cancer have bone metastases and 10% of them will ...
Milk-alkali syndrome is mainly caused by the ingestion of large amounts of calcium and absorbable alkali. This syndrome can lead to metastatic calcification, renal failure and metabolic alkalosis secondary to hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia is rarely a cause of seizure activity. Very few case reports have been published linking seizure to hypercalcemia, but only one recent case report about mesial...
Because of the increasing trend of body contour enhancements with injections, implants, and fillers, clinicians should be on high alert for the possibility of silicone-induced hypercalcemia as one of the differential diagnoses in a patient with history of silicone use. Hypercalcemia as a result of silicone injections has been reported, and there is concern that there will be more cases given th...
Although primary hyperparathyroidism is the most common cause of hypercalcemia, cancer is the most common cause requiring inpatient intervention. An estimated 10% to 20% of all patients with cancer have hypercalcemia at some point in their disease trajectory, particularly in advanced disease. Aggressive saline hydration and varying doses of furosemide continue to be the standard of care for eme...
INTRODUCTION Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by asymptomatic and non-progressive hypercalcemia due to mutations of the calcium-sensing receptor gene. Disorders of calcium metabolism are very common in the elderly, and they can coexist with familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia in affected families. CASE PRESENTATION We describe an Irish ...
BACKGROUND Hypercalcemia due to malignancy is well described in the literature and a common paraneoplastic finding in certain solid tumors. Hematologic malignancies, however, are less frequently associated with hypercalcemia with the exception of myelomas and T-cell lymphomas. CASE REPORT This case report describes a patient with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) who developed sympt...
Introduction: Hypercalcemia resulting from calcium homeostasis imbalance is seen in one-third of malignancies. Solid malignancies cause hypercalcemia from high parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) and, infrequently, from osteolytic cytokines. Excessive 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D, seen mostly in lymphoma, causes hypercalcemia by 1-alphahydroxylation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D. This mechanism ha...
Two human malignant tumors, which we previously reported to produce colony-stimulating factors (CSFs), were found to be accompanied by remarkable hypercalcemia. A patient with a CSF-producing lower jaw cancer (squamous cell carcinoma) developed a marked granulocytosis (150,000/microliters) and hypercalcemia (more than 215 mg/dl). The tumor was successfully transplanted into nude mice, which dev...
Adamantinomas of long bones are rare primary malignant bone tumors. A case of a woman who died of pulmonary metastases of an adamantinoma of the tibia is presented. A unique feature of this case is the association with hypercalcemia. The association of hypercalcemia, hypophosphatemia, decreased parathyroid hormone levels and increased urinary cAMP excretion suggests a humorally mediated hyperca...
