Differentiating between primary and ectopic or pseudohyperparathyroidism may be difficllt, but certain aspects of the patient's clinical history as well as laboratory tests may be helpful. We present an unusual case report of a patient who had massive splenomegaly secondary to a localized
BACKGROUND
Hypercalcemia of malignancy is a serious complication of cancer. The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of zoledronic acid, a new-generation bisphosphonate and the most potent inhibitor of bone resorption identified to date, for hypercalcemia of malignancy
This report summarizes results of the clinical development program evaluating zoledronic acid (Zometa; Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp, East Hanover, NJ) in the treatment of hypercalcemia of malignancy (HCM). In addition to a phase I dose escalation trial, two randomized, double-blind, double-dummy
Hypercalcemia is a common laboratory finding in patients with malignancy, as well as with granulomatous disease. We report the case of a 75-year-old man with multiple myeloma (MM) who presented with generalized weakness, fever, and intractable hypercalcemia. The hypercalcemia proved difficult to
A 10-month-old sexually intact female German Shorthaired Pointer examined because of lethargy, episodes of fever, inappetence, and vomiting was found to have severe hypercalcemia. Results of laboratory testing, radiography, and ultrasonography excluded previously recognized causes of hypercalcemia
We report a case of 18-year-old boy who presented with vomiting, backache, and fever for 1-month, diagnosed to have anaplastic large cell lymphoma of urinary bladder with hypercalcemia and metastatic calcification in multiple viscera. His computed tomography scan was suggestive of soft tissue lesion

A young woman with neck pain and fever was found to have increased free thyroxine
Alterations in the calcium metabolism are a characteristic paraclinical finding in patients with oliguric acute renal failure associated with rhabdomyolysis. A 20-year-old male operated on under general anesthesia developed non-oliguric acute renal failure due to malignant hyperthermia with
A 36-year-old woman presented with hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, elevated serum parathyroid hormone levels and prolonged fever. Surgical removal of the hyperplastic and adenomatous parathyroid glands led to reversal of the biochemical abnormalities as well as return of her temperature to normal.
Primary bone marrow lymphomata are infrequent; most of them are of B-cell origin, and those of a T-cell lineage produce mainly both hypercalcemia and osteolytic lesions apparently due to abnormal production of osteoclast-activating factor. We report a 15-year old patient with a primary bone marrow
An 80-year-old man was referred to our hospital for further examination of fever, cough and left pleural effusion. The laboratory findings showed acute inflammation, and the elevation of albumin-corrected serum calcium and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. A chest CT revealed centrilobular particulate
Four sequential Tc-99m pyrophosphate (PYP) imaging studies were performed in a 28-year-old man with high fever and exudate pharyngitis associated with renal failure. Radiotracer localization in the left ventricle (LV), lungs, kidneys, and skeletal muscles were seen in two, initial imaging studies.
