DOI: 10.1136/bcr-2018-226633
Abstract: Hypercalcaemia is a rare but potentially life-threatening consequence of malignancies. Solid cancers, such as lymphomas, increase serum calcium primarily through parathyroid hormone-related protein or ectopic production of 1alpha-hydroxylase. We present a case of 56-year-old woman… read more here.
