D Chopra, E P Clerkin

    The Medical Clinics of North America
    |March 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Malignancies like breast, lung, and myeloma commonly cause hypercalcemia. Some "silent" tumors, such as bronchogenic carcinoma and hypernephroma, also lead to this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Hypercalcemia is a common complication of various malignancies.
    • Certain cancers are more frequently associated with hypercalcemia than others.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight common and challenging causes of malignancy-associated hypercalcemia.
    • To identify specific tumors that present diagnostic difficulties due to silent hypercalcemia secretion.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical literature on hypercalcemia of malignancy.
    • Analysis of common and less common tumor types associated with hypercalcemia.

    Main Results:

    • Breast carcinoma, myeloma, and lung carcinoma are frequent causes of hypercalcemia.
    • Bronchogenic carcinoma and hypernephroma can act as "silent" tumors, causing hypercalcemia through secreted substances.

    Conclusions:

    • Hypercalcemia is a significant paraneoplastic syndrome in oncology.
    • Diagnosing "silent" tumors requires awareness of their potential to induce hypercalcemia.
