Abstract
PINAL-FERNANDEZ, I.. Humoral hypercalcemia in mixed endometrial carcinoma. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2010, vol.33, n.2, pp.217-219. ISSN 1137-6627.
Hypercalcemia secondary to neoplastic disease is a frequent entity caused in the majority of cases by ectopic secretions of PTHrP. Despite this there are certain tumours, such as uterine carcinomas, in which this type of paraneoplastic manifestation has been described very little. We present a case of humoral hypercalcemia in a mixed endometrial carcinoma.
Keywords : Hypercalcemia; Parathyroid hormone-related protein; Endometrial neoplasms; Paraneoplastic syndromes.
