    Hypercalcemia, a condition of high blood calcium, can occur with nonmetastatic vulvar cancer. Awareness of this association is crucial for timely surgical intervention in patients with vulvar tumors.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Endocrinology
    • Gynecology

    Background:

    • Hypercalcemia of malignancy is often linked to lung or kidney cancers.
    • Ovarian cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy associated with hypercalcemia.
    • Nonmetastatic vulvar carcinoma can also cause hypercalcemia, a rare paraendocrine syndrome.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinicopathologic features of two cases of nonmetastatic vulvar carcinoma presenting with hypercalcemia.
    • To highlight the vulva as the second most common site within the female genital tract for malignancy-associated hypercalcemia.
    • To increase clinician awareness of the hypercalcemia-mental confusion-vulvar tumor association.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report analysis of two patients with nonmetastatic vulvar carcinoma and hypercalcemia.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Literature review of previously reported cases of vulvar carcinoma associated with hypercalcemia.

    • Main Results:

    • Two new cases of nonmetastatic vulvar carcinoma with hypercalcemia were identified.
    • Including prior reports, vulvar cancer is the second most frequent gynecologic primary site associated with this paraendocrine syndrome.
    • Hypercalcemia and mental confusion were noted in patients with bulky vulvar tumors.

    Conclusions:

    • Clinicians should consider hypercalcemia and mental confusion in patients with significant vulvar tumors.
    • Medical management of hypercalcemia should not delay necessary surgical treatment for vulvar carcinoma.
    • Early recognition facilitates appropriate and timely patient management.
