Hypercalcemia of malignancy

• Etiology
  • Humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy (pseudohyperparathyroidism): PTHrP secretion by the tumor
    • Squamous cell carcinomas (lung, head, and neck)
  • Ectopic vitamin D production due to 1α-hydroxylase activity in tumor cells
    • Hodgkin lymphoma
    • NHL
  • Local osteolytic hypercalcemia: osteolytic activity at sites of skeletal metastases
    • Multiple myeloma
    • Breast cancer
