Hypercalcemia upon denosumab withdrawal in primary hyperparathyroidism: a case report and literature review.

Denosumab discontinuation is associated with a rapid increase in bone resorption and a decrease in bone mineral density. Spontaneous vertebral fractures may occur as a side effect of the rebound of bone resorption. Cases of rebound-linked hypercalcemia have also been described, moderate in women with osteoporosis and breast cancer and severe in children receiving oncological doses of denosumab. We report the case of an adult woman with primary hyperparathyroidism and moderate hypercalcemia, treated with denosumab for osteoporosis, who developed severe hypercalcemia and spontaneous vertebral fr…

Combined Hepatocholangiocarcinoma Associated with Humoral Hypercalcemia of Malignancy and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy.

Paraneoplastic syndromes are often a diagnostic challenge to doctors and may have a heterogeneous presentation, including humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy (HHM), most commonly caused by squamous cell cancer and renal, ovarian, endometrial, and breast cancer. Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) has been described in patients affected by several types of cancer, especially hematologic malignancies, and a possible paraneoplastic pathogenesis of this neurological disease has been suggested. This report describes a 56-year-old man with a history of CIDP diagnosed 3 months ea…

Stepwise CaSR, AP2S1, and GNA11 sequencing in patients with suspected familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia.

PURPOSE: Patients with familial hyperparathyroidism and low urinary calcium excretion may have familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) with mutations in one of three genes: the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) defining FHH-type 1, the adaptor-related protein complex 2 (AP2S1) related to FHH-type 3 or the G-protein subunit alpha11 (GNA11) associated with FHH-type 2. We aimed to evaluate the presence of mutations in these genes and to identify phenotypic specificities and differences in these patients. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Selected patients were recruited for genetic evaluation. After inform…

IgG4-Related Disease Combined with Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia and Steroid-Responsive Transient Hypercalcemia.

A 67-year-old man with elevated serum immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) levels, systemic lymphadenopathy infiltrated by IgG4-positive plasma cells, and Coombs-positive autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) showed marked hypercalcemia. Although the intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) level was elevated, 99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy and thyroid ultrasonography revealed no evidence of primary hyperparathyroidism. Liver biopsy showed marked infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells, which confirmed the diagnosis of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). Corticosteroid therapy was initiated, and subsequently, intact PTH and…

Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia with a de novo heterozygous mutation of calcium-sensing receptor.

UNLABELLED: A de novo heterozygous inactivating mutation of calcium-sensing receptor (CASR) gene typically causes neonatal hyperparathyroidism (NHPT) with moderate hypercalcemia and hyperparathyroid bone disease. We present a case of asymptomatic hypocalciuric hypercalcemia with a de novo heterozygous mutation in CASR, S591C, which is primarily reported to be responsible for NHPT. A 54-year-old female was referred for investigation of asymptomatic hypercalcemia that was initially found in the 1980s but without a history of bone disease during the perinatal period. She had moderate hypercalcemi…

[Hypercalcemia-hyperleukocytosis paraneoplastic syndrome complicating cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Report of two cases].

INTRODUCTION: We report two cases of hypercalcemia-hyperleucocytosis paraneoplastic syndrome complicating cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. CASE REPORTS: The first patient, a 50-year-old man, suffering for hidradenitis suppurativa for the past 20 years, was admitted for squamous cell carcinoma. Laboratory findings showed marked hypercalcemia and hyperleucocytosis. PTHrP serum level was increased. Bone scintigraphy was normal. There was evidence of pulmonary metastasis. Despite treatment the patient died of agranulocytosis. The second patient was a 60-year-old man who presented with several m…

Humoral hypercalcemia of benignancy secondary to parathyroid hormone-related protein secreting uterine leiomyoma.

A 48-year-old women admitted with polyuria and polydipsia. She was found to be hypercalcemic despite suppressed parathormone (iPTH) levels. … mg/dL), iPTH (29.4 pg/mL), and PTHrP (<1.3 pmol/L) levels were normalized. The diagnosis of humoral hypercalcemia of benignancy secondary to PTHrP was confirmed. One month later, her calcium and iPTH levels were normal and 1 year later still remain within the normal ranges. Our case indicates that PTHrP associated hypercalcemia does not solely result from a mal …

Vitamin D-mediated hypercalcemia and Cushing syndrome as manifestations of malignant pleural mesothelioma.

OBJECTIVE: To report a case of coincident hypercalcemia and Cushing syndrome arising from mesothelioma. METHODS: We describe the clinical, laboratory, imaging, and pathologic findings of a patient with malignant pleural mesothelioma and elucidate the underlying biologic mechanisms resulting in concurrent overexpression of steroid and polypeptide hormones. RESULTS: A 62-year-old woman presented with chest discomfort and cough. Radiologic imaging revealed a diffuse pleural-based mass encasing the right lung. There was no invasion into the chest wall, diaphragm, or mediastinum, and there was no…

Primary hyperparathyroidism presumably caused by chronic parathyroiditis manifesting from hypocalcemia to severe hypercalcemia.

A 67-year-old woman who presented with hypocalcemia compatible with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism gradually changed into a state of primary hyperparathyroidism. The left upper parathyroid gland, which was larger and harder than other glands, was resected. Despite the operation, hypercalcemia and high levels of intact PTH persisted. Six weeks later total parathyroidectomy was done to induce remission. The resected gland in the first operation had clusters of lymphoid follicles with germinal centers indicating a chronic autoimmune inflammation. This case suggests a transition from hypoparathyroi…

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma with humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy (HHM): an autopsy case report.

An 84-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for the examination and treatment of painful right thyroid swelling on August 2, 2002. Thy … Two months after the initiation of lip-PEIT, parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP)-dependent hypercalcemia was diagnosed because serum levels of calcium, phosphate and intact-PTHrP were 2.72 mmol/l (10.9 mg/dl), 0.71 mmol/l (2.2 mg/dl), 3.2 pmol/l, respectively. The hypercalcemia was reduced by the use of pamidronate. After one week she died of an airway …

[Severe Vitamin D(dihydrotachysterol)-intoxication with temporary anemia and hypercalcemia responsive to bisphosphonates].

Severe Vitamin D(dihydrotachysterol)-intoxication with temporary anemia and hypercalcemia responsive to bisphosphonates. HISTORY AND FINDINGS: A 31-year old female patient presented with pain of her skeletal system. 6 months prior to her presentation, she underwent thyroid surgery for Graves disease. She also suffered from endocrine orbitopathy. Afterwards, she expirienced surgical hypoparathyroidism and received dihydrotachy-sterol (A.T.10 (R)) in a dose of up to 4 mg per day. The physical examination was unremarkable except for the presence of Graves' ophthalmopathy and a swelling at the lef…

Parathyroid hormone-related protein, parathyroid hormone, and vitamin D in hypercalcemia of malignancy.

The pathogenesis of cancer-associated hypercalcemia is not yet completely understood. In the majority of cancer patients, hypercalcemia appears to be a consequence of the tumor production of parathyroid hormone (PTH)-related protein (PTHrP). However, patients with humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy, in contrast to those with primary hyperparathyroidism, have an uncoupled bone turnover, and they usually have low circulating levels of 1.25(OH)2D3. We performed a case-control study to assess the relationship of plasma PTHrP, PTH and 1.25(OH)2D3 with hypercalcemia in cancer patients with a variet…

Severe hyperparathyroidism with hypercalcemia associated with chronic renal failure at pre-dialysis stage.

We report a case of a 23-year-old Japanese woman who had severe hyperparathyroidism associated with chronic renal failure before the start of dialysis treatment. Her chief complaints were swelling and pain in both shoulders. Laboratory examination revealed renal failure (BUN 134 mg/dl, serum Cr 7.3 mg/dl), severe normocytic normochromic anemia (hemoglobin 4.3 g/dl), hypercalcemia (11.8 mg/dl), and hyperphosphatemia (9.7 mg/dl). Serum PTH levels were extremely increased (intact PTH >1,000 pg/ml: normal range 10-50 pg/ml). X-ray examination of the skull and shoulders showed a salt and pepper app…

Giant splenomegaly and refractory hypercalcemia due to extrapulmonary sarcoidosis. Successful treatment by splenectomy.

Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease of unknown origin with a variable clinical presentation. The presenting complaint is usually referable to the lung. We describe an unusual presentation of sarcoidosis in a young black man who received medical attention for evaluation of pancytopenia, giant splenomegaly, and marked, refractory hypercalcemia. After extensive evaluation, including exploratory laparotomy, he was found to have sarcoidosis, with extensive involvement of his spleen, liver, and abdominal lymph nodes. Pulmonary involvement was notably absent, with no suggestive findings radiograph…

The human T-cell leukemia/lymphoma virus, lymphoma, lytic bone lesions, and hypercalcemia.

The human T-cell lymphoma (HTL) virus is a type C RNA tumor virus isolated from patients with malignancies of mature T cells. We report three patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma, hypercalcemia, and antibodies to HTL virus. One patient presented with idiopathic hypercalcemia of 6 months' duration, two with striking lytic bone lesions, and two with circulating malignant lymphocytes. Malignant cells from all patients had surface markers characteristic of thymic-derived lymphocytes (T cells), and all patients had natural serum antibodies to disrupted HTL virus and to one or both viral structu…
