Abstract

Introduction Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and malignancy are responsible for more than 90% of all cases of hypercalcemia [1]. Malignancies can cause hypercalcemia because of bone metastases. However, hypercalcemia can also occur in nonmetastatic solid tumours, for example as a result of production of parathyroid hormone-related peptide. The first diagnostic step when
